The river industry is preparing for prolonged low-water conditions, likely through at least the end of the year, while also trying to finish out the fall harvest season. Randy Chamness, co-chairman of the Lower Mississippi River Committee (LOMRC), said Coast Guard buoy tenders have been key to those efforts over the past week or so. "They're doing a good job of marking the channel, and that's key for us to maintain draft and tow size," he said. "We feel like this time around it's in better shape than when we got to these levels before. The buoys are a huge part of that." |
