Lee County Conservation Board owns and manages over 2500 acres of land forming a submerged island complex within Pool 19 of the Upper Mississippi River. Construction of a project that reduces wind fetch and turbidity in this area could result in habitat benefits to nearly 300 acres. Much of the benefit would result from improved aquatic vegetation and protection from wind driven waves. The team expects an improvement in habitat quality when construction is complete.
