- 4 components of the project: The plan will restore fish and wildlife habitat and degraded benthos Beneficial Use Impairments (BUIs) in the Muskegon Lake Great Lakes Area of Concern (AOC). The proposal includes four components: 1) significant ecological benefits for fish and wildlife habitat with the removal of unnatural fill and hardened shoreline; 3) significant progress on the removal of the loss of fish and wildlife habitat, degraded fish and wildlife populations, and degraded benthos BUIs through restoration and scientific monitoring; ) job creation and retention and improvement of short- and long-term economic conditions; and 4) public involvement and community outreach on the components of the plan and its accomplishments.
