Lake Shelbyville Fish Habitat Alliance Receives Award
An award was given to the Lake Shelbyville Fish Habitat Alliance (LSFHA) from The Corps Foundation in recognition of an outstanding and valuable partnership agreement between the LSFHA and the Corps of Engineers. This was a pretty big deal because this partnership between the Corps of Engineers at Lake Shelbyville and the LSFHA was selected out of all of the Corps Projects Nationwide, which number close to 460. The award was actually for the year 2019 but due to Covid-19 and finding a suitable time to present the award, it was just now formally presented to LSFHA. Approximately 650 Christmas trees and 160 artificial fish structures were dropped in the Lake on Sunday, March 27.
