Please describe the project objective(s).

Our objective is to enhance the marine habitat at Hershey Lake. As divers, we enjoy seeing the underwater aquatic life and can see first hand how structures benefits their environment.

Will state fish and wildlife agency staff be directly involved in the project? How so (planning, site selection, participation in installation)? Is there an associated lake or habitat management plan that states the need for structural habitat enhancement?

We plan on working hand in hand with the North Platte office for site selection and they will also be helping in the placement of any structure.

List the species that the project is expected to benefit:

The biggest benefit will be for bass, crappie, cat fish and blue gill but all aquatic wild life will benefit from habitat enhancement

How do you plan to conduct outreach and advertise the project? (Examples: on-site signage, press releases, websites, message boards)

We plan on posting our project on our membership face book page, we will also contact KNOP new and the Telegraph new paper.
