The Tennessee Valley Authority and Georgia Department of Natural Resources planted around 1,600 native plants and shrubs like water willow and buttonbush to help restore fish habitat in Chatuge Lake’s shady coves.
“The goal is to provide bank stabilization, because the water fluctuates in the reservoir,” Josh Stafford, of Georgia’s Department of Natural Resources, said. “It enhances the angling experience and provides increased habitat for the fish they’re targeting.”
“Chatuge is incredibly biodiverse, and it’s a great vacation and recreation spot,” Shannon O’Quinn, TVA Environmental Stewardship senior program manager, said. “This partnership is a win-win for all.”
