Fisheries Biologists led up a conservation effort at Victoria Landing on Lake Allatoona. Several Concrete anchor points were poured several years ago with the idea to attach recycled Christmas trees to them. The trees would create underwater fish habitat. A drop off location was created at the boat landing and Bassmaster conservationists teamed up to sink all of the trees off shore. The trees will remain 6-12 feet deep during the spring season. Over 250 trees were submerged successfully.
I think that small contributions such as this are an excellent way for local users can give back to what they so readily take advantage of. Volunteer work drives the majority of recreational hunting and fishing which makes it greatly appreciated amongst the population. Enhancing underwater structure for fish increases their ability to thrive.
