  "projectDescription": "Restoration of 300 acres of tidal wetland to pre-mosquito ditching conditions within the Great Island Wildlife Management Area located at the mouth of the Connecticut River.   Different combinations of hydrological modifications (filling or plugging ditches) and herbiciding and mulching to control Phragmites will be tested, and natural creeks, ponds, and pannes will be re-created.",
