The project that we propose will remediate the man-made problems along this 1,200-foot stretch by excavating six pools, making them deep enough to connect to groundwater, providing trout with thermal refuge in summer months. The project will also enhance riffles for macro invertebrate growth and trout spawning, provide in-stream structures to give trout prime feeding lies, and the banks will be restored then planted with native species to prevent future erosion. The project will turn this stretch of the Musconetcong into a much-needed year-round trout refuge.

these kinds of projects could (and do) happen throughout the state. it just takes a dedicated person or organization to plan it, consult with engineers/habitat experts etc, collect funding, and then manage the project to completion. certainly not a small task, but doable. from boots on the ground to donations being sent the more people get involved the more projects can happen, so if you want to see something happen in a particular spot, easiest way to make sure it happens is to get involved
