  "projectDescription": "The Lemon Creek Wetland Restoration Project was implemented within the Charlotte Harbor Watershed in Englewood, Florida. The Lemon Bay Conservancy, in partnership with the Southwest Florida Water Management District, restored an abandoned 80-acre golf course now known as Wildflower Preserve. The project plans included improving the tidal connectivity between Lemon Creek and Lemon Bay, enhancing the existing freshwater and estuarine wetlands, adding nine acres of estuarine wetlands, adding five acres of freshwater wetlands, removing exotic vegetation, and adding native wetland and coastal upland plantings. The project was specifically designed to enhance freshwater and oligohaline fisheries, wading and shorebird habitat, and overall ecosystem function within the watershed.",
