  "projectDescription": "This project will restore small-scale 18 native oyster reefs (16 square meters each) of varying oyster density to serve as a platform for science-based monitoring that will quantify the relationship between functional characteristics of the reefs and more easily measured structural parameters.  It also involves in depth research on the role of these oyster reefs in the dentirification cycle and nitrogen sequestration, and quantification of microfaunal abundance, diversity and biomass on the restored reefs.",
