  "projectDescription": "The Black Creek Marsh coastal wetlands have been impacted historically by dredging, filling, hydrological modifications, and invasive species infestation. These wetlands have been physically disconnected from their source, the Clinton River and Lake St. Clair, and therefore no longer receive many of the benefits of lake coastal processes. Through this award, the grantee dredged approximately 55,000 square feet of improved open water channel habitat, and approximately 32,000 square feet of open water pools connected by these channels. Although this was a change in scope from the original intent to reconnect the historic Black Creek channel to the Clinton River (which was stymied by a lack of landowner participation), the work still met award objectives to increase spawning habitat for fish such as Northern Pike and Lake Perch, improved recreation opportunities, and continued the control of invasive aquatic species, such as Phragmites, through a combination of spot herbicide application, mowing, and prescribed burning on newly acquired properties and in other places in the Black Creek Marsh.",
