Description
The Oklahoma Habitat Enhancement Partnership is an initiative of the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation (ODWC) aimed at improving fishing opportunities and aquatic habitat in publicly accessible reservoirs across Oklahoma. The program fosters collaboration between local communities and ODWC, enabling applicants to work with ODWC biologists to select and place a variety of fish habitat structures (such as King Jacks, MossBack Structures, and Shelbyville Cubes) in reservoirs. ODWC manages procurement and placement of these structures, ensuring enhancements are made safely and responsibly.
