Under the guidance of science teacher Brian Henry, students constructed and recently deployed 40 wooden “fish cribs,” submerged structures that are designed to enhance the aquatic habitat in the lake’s southern basin. The project marks the beginning of a five-year effort to build 20 artificial reefs and deploy a total of 200 cribs.
