  "projectDescription": "This project restored 9.3 acres of high saltmarsh habitat and improved its hydrologic connection with the Indian River Lagoon.  Before project implementation, the site was covered with dredge spoil from historic dredging of the Indian River Lagoon.  Brevard County Environmentally Endangered Lands Program first eradicated exotic invasive species from the site, then removed more than 50,000 cubic yards of material to achieve historic wetland elevations, and finally saltmarsh vegetation was planted across the site to jump start natural recruitment of species.  This project renews hydrologic connections to the estuary, allowing access by fish and other marine species, and provides nutrient exchange with the estuary.",
