  "projectDescription": "The goal of this project is to conduct large-scale seeding of eelgrass at three locations in the lower Patuxent River at sites that appear promising for SAV restoration, and to evaluate the relative effects of seed density, water quality, epiphytic growth, and predation on survivability of the seeded beds.  This will be achieved by completing the following objectives:1. Identify sites for restoration based on application of GIS based targeting models and recent and on-going test plantings and intensive habitat assessments.2. Conduct large-scale seeding of eelgrass at each site over a three year period as called for in the Strategy.  3. Evaluate associated factors that may influence success of the project such as seeding density, water quality, epiphytic growth, and predation.4. Produce a final, technical analysis documenting degree of revegetation of each site and evaluating the role of associated factors.",
