The Illinois River is one of the most beloved and utilized rivers in the state. The natural benefits derived from the river support ecosystems and economies, while providing rich context for the region’s cultural heritage and nourishment for the soul. Unfortunately, the river is at risk. This book aims to shine a bright light on the Illinois River and all the river provides with the goal of inspiring the public to make better-informed decisions about their precious natural resource for the benefit of future generations. While photography is the cornerstone of the book, collaboration was the foundation. A collaboration of Oklahoma photographers and authors committed to this important conservation book designed to use art and important stories to empower environmental conservation. The Illinois River Survey photography book will serve as an important public outreach tool for Save the Illinois River (STIR) and will help bridge the gap between the river and the public. The book is a powerful force for conservation through its ability to influence, inform and inspire. The book begins with a special foreword by Oklahoma river advocate, Drew Edmondson and introduction by Oklahoma author, John Gifford. The book tells the story of the Illinois River and the region through which it flows, beginning with an essay by NSU History Professor, Brad Agnew, who writes about the rich history of the Illinois River. The next essay covers conservation photography, explaining photography’s pivotal role in the history of wilderness conservation and the future of the Illinois River. An essay by Oklahoma author Sheilah Bright narrates the Illinois River Survey event in May of 2011, and delves into the cultural heritage of the Illinois River and the importance of the river to people, local communities and all Oklahomans. The next essay by Priscilla Crawford of the Oklahoma Biological Survey and Natural Areas Registry describes the ecological diversity of the Illinois River watershed; and Mike Fuhr, director of the Oklahoma Nature Conservancy, explains the importance of environmental flows for the biodiversity of the Illinois River ecosystem. May 20 – 22, 2011, a team of Oklahoma photographers together with scientists, land and river managers, water officials, conservationists, and river advocates explored and documented important components of the Illinois River Watershed in a three-day photographic survey. The Survey group focused on the Illinois River’s unique ecological communities, the rivers ecosystems, with an emphasis on the natural services the rivers provides, and the history and unique cultural heritage of the Illinois River to the region, local river communities, and Tahlequah. Compelling photography can make a difference. The goal for the Illinois River Survey: A Visual Record is for the conservation photography book to be a timely and relevant piece of literature that will help the river today, and be a lasting record of the Illinois River for the future.

Excerpt from The Long-Term Illinois River Fish Population Monitoring Program: F-101-R Segments 6-10, Final Report to Be Submitted to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service During late August and September each year 1994-1998, we sampled 26 sites on the Illinois River Waterway and one site on Reach 26 of the Mississippi River by electrofishing to monitor fish communities. From 1994-1998, we collected a total of fish representing 62 species (plus five hybrids) from fourteen families during hours of sampling at 26 sites on the Illinois Waterway and a single site on the Mississippi River. Of these fishes, individuals were collected from the Illinois Waterway sites, and 643 were collected from Brickhouse Slough of the Mississippi River. The year with the greatest overall catch of fishes was 1995 (7941 individuals, cpuen 325 fish per hour) and the year with the lowest overall catch of fishes was 1994 (3421 individuals, cpuen 131 fish per hour). For all stations combined, the greatest number of species were collected in 1995 (48 species plus 3 hybrids) and the least were in 1997 (38 species plus 4 hybrids). The number of species collected from upper watennay reaches ranged from 12 for Starved Rock in 1996 to 24 for Marseilles in 1995. The number of species collected from middle river reaches ranged from 23 for La Grange Reach in 1997 to 34 for Peoria Reach in 1996. The number of species collected from the lower river (alton Reach) ranged from 18 in 1994 to 25 in 1995. The Peoria Reach consistently had highest species richness during all years (1994-1998) of sampling for this project.
