Project Overview
The project is designed to be part of a multi-prong approach to watershed and lake restoration in the SRRWD. The permanent fish barrier is a necessary element to prevent the migration of rough fish through wetlands while other work is done to improve water quality, enhance aquatic vegetation and restore a healthy fish population that includes carp-egg predators. Visible and measurable effects are anticipated within one to three years. The Goose Lake Fish Barrier Project has been identified as a high priority in the SRRWD Management Plan, DNR Shallow Lake Management Plan 2010 (pg. 9), and Long Range Duck Recovery Plan 2006 (pg. 18).
