  "projectDescription": "Historically, Powderhorn Lake was once part of a large collection of marshes, lakes, and rivers adjacent to Lake Michigan in Chicago, IL. This project will improve spawning grounds and habitat for juvenile native fish species by restoring 192 acres of wetlands, 45 upland acres and reestablishing hydrological connection between a coastal wetland habitat, the Calumet River and, ultimately, Lake Michigan. Fish and bird populations and associated recreational activities will be enhanced on publicly accessible land close to a major population center. Through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, NOAA provided funding and technical guidance to support the design and construction of this project.",
