Volunteer participation is critical to our success and we ’ re always grateful for the help we receive .
With a full team of volunteers , we quickly constructed the 74 MossBack habitats . We spent time with the students explaining how the products are made , how various fish species use them and where we would be deploying the habitat . Deployment of the habitat was made possible with TPWD providing their work boats . The exact GPS locations for each habitat drop were collected by TPWD staff and will be available in the future on the TPWD website as well as on the FMD page .
This project was a shining example of collaboration involving fisheries managers , anglers , students and the fishing industry . It ’ s an example of exactly what the Fisheries Management Division was built to do , and we look forward to continuing in 2023 with several more Minn Kota Habitat Restorations projects . We can ’ t wait to see the results of our projects when TPWD does their next survey .
