  "projectDescription": "This action will benefit anadromous Gulf Sturgeon Acipenser oxyrinchus desotoi (ESA Threatened) and Alabama Shad Alosa alabamae (ESA candidatespecies) by supporting the feasibility, design, permitting, and implementation of the removal of the only fish passage barrier in the Choctawhatchee River basin, the inoperable Elba Hydroelectric Dam Project (EHDP). Dam removal will increase access to about 55 km of unimpeded Pea River containing three essential habitat types (spawning, juvenile rearing, summer thermal refuge) potentially used by Gulf Sturgeon and Alabama Shad.",
