About us

The Watts Bar Ecology and Fishery Council is a stakeholder organization established to research/assess the problems and solutions associated with invasive aquatic species in the Upper TN River System. This includes treatment and control measures for invasive aquatic plants and how to prevent the economic and ecological devastation the silver-carp will have on this region. We were established in the summer of 2017 and we are working hard to enhance and protect the ecology and economy of the Upper TN River System; Chickamauga, Watts Bar, Melton Hill, Ft. Loudon, and Tellico lakes -- for the benefit of all stakeholders.
