  "projectDescription": "Locate and remove illegal casitias ( Lobster condos) on the seafloor and reachout to public about the impacts on the resources.  NOAA's Restoration Center and the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary partnered with the State of Florida and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to locate and remove illegal lobster condos or ?casitas? within the waters of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Casitas are simply a flat sheet of waterproof material (steel, cement, tin, etc.) propped 4-6? above the seafloor on cement parking blocks or similar structures, creating an ideal habitat for lobster.",
