Maumee River Gets Major Eco Makeover | Toledo News

The Maumee River’s Audubon Islands are getting a $4 million eco-makeover, transforming 160 acres into a thriving habitat for fish, benthos, and native wildlife. After a year of heavy-duty work — including engineered log jams, rock reefs, deeper coves, and native plantings — the project is nearing completion, with final riverbank reinforcements expected in weeks. Designed to mimic natural processes, the structures trap debris to create shelter, while tougher banks now withstand wild water levels. Funded by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative and Ohio EPA, this long-term investment promises a healthier, more resilient river for generations.
