  "projectDescription": "Mote Marine Laboratory will restore coral reefs at multiple sites in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary including the reefs associated with the Mission: Iconic Reefs effortâ€”an unprecedented, decades-long approach to restore iconic coral reef sites in the sanctuary. Over five years, Mote will propagate and outplant thousands of coral fragments, including Endangered Species Act-listed staghorn and elkhorn corals, and massive reef-building corals. The project will also significantly increase the production and restocking of Caribbean king crabs by addressing current bottlenecks in the production and enhancement of algae grazers, which provide a critical service to coral reef health.",
