Restoring Fish Habitat in the St. Clair River (Middle Channel Reef Project) 2011. The goal of this project is to enhance fish reproduction and help rebuild native fish populations. Project partners will restore an acre of fish spawning habitat by constructing and studying nine rock reefs in the Middle Channel of the St. Clair River. 816 KB PDF
