BUTTE DES MORTS CONSERVATION CLUB, INC: RES-Terrell Island Habitat Restoration Project

This project will harden the shores of 4 existing islands within the breakwall project area known as Terrell Island on the south side of Lake Butte des Morts. Nearly 1,200 feet of rock structure will be installed along the windward edges of the islands with extending wings to enhance the aquatic plant community of emergents, floating leaf and submergent plants.

These benefits are expected to occur:

1) Improved water quality , especially clarity in the area adjacent to the structure.

2) Greater areal coverage of aquatic plant growth and the habitat benefits for fish.

3) Enhanced wildlife benefits for waterfowl and shorebirds, reptiles and amphibians.

4) Reduced island erosion.
