STREAM HABITAT MANAGEMENT
The placement of artificial habitat structures can often enhance stream reaches that lack naturally occurring habitat features. Lack of natural habitat can be the result of many situations, including stream channelization, poor agricultural practices, inadequate stormwater management and disturbance to the riparian zones bordering the stream.
Fish habitat improvement projects contribute to the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission's mission of providing fishing and boating opportunities through the protection and management of aquatic resources.
