  "projectDescription": "Howard Marsh Metropark is a 987-acre agricultural property in Lucas County near the shore of Lake Erie and within the Maumee Area of Concern (AOC) that is owned by Metroparks of the Toledo Area (MTA).  Ducks Unlimited (DU), MTA, Ohio Division of Wildlife (ODOW), NOAA and others have been working together since 2013 to complete the Phase I restoration of Howard Marsh. Phase I restoration was completed in spring 2019.  Phase II will occur on the +/- 235 acres of agricultural land on the west side of Howard Road and is expected to result in the restoration of approximately 210 acres of coastal wetlands in one management unit and 25 acres of upland forest and native grass.  DU completed a topographic survey of the Phase II restoration area several years ago.  That survey was used as a baseline for development of the restoration design for the wetland components. Phase II restoration is expected to include disabling sub-surface drain tiles, constructing approximately 2.25 miles of earthen levee and installing a primary water control and seasonal fish passage structure to connect the wetland with Lake Erie via Coolie ditch along the west side of the property. The main water control structure also will house a vertical pump.  The balance of the property not restored to wetlands will be planted to native grasses and/or reforested to native tree species.",
