Dropping Trees from the Sky: Pittsburgh District Delivers Fish Reefs on Ohio River
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District
Aug. 16, 2023 | 1:56
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District used a helicopter to lift 29 trees bundles and concrete blocks to create a new fish habitat in a water basin on the Ohio River. A wide range of freshwater species live in the Ohio River including various types of shiners, catfish, carp, herring, bass, walleye and more. The brush bundles will help juvenile fish by providing cover and places to hide from larger predator fish.

The fish reefs will mitigate impact caused by construction planned in the coming years at three locks and dams nearby. The construction of the three new locks is part of the Upper Ohio Navigation Project, a multi-billion-dollar project that will benefit inland navigation. The district will remove the auxiliary chambers at the Montgomery, Dashields and Emsworth locks and dams, replacing them with larger navigation chambers.
