  "projectDescription": "A submerged breakwater reef was created at Alabama Port to protect more than 9 acres of habitat for submerged aquatic vegetation and creating almost an acre of oyster reef. The submerged reefs protects more than half a mile of coastal habitat by reflecting erosive wave energy away from the shoreline, unlike traditional erosion protection structures that contribute to habitat loss.  Three oyster reef types were trialled and monitored.",
