  "projectDescription": "This entry is one of 10 project sites included under the name \"Indian River Lagoon Habitat Restoration\".The Indian River Lagoon Council will implement a large-scale restoration in response to an urgent need to restore essential fish habitats, enhance ecosystem functions, and increase resilience in the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) on the Atlantic Coast of Florida.  The overall project design integrates a multi-habitat and multi-site restoration approach that recognizes the complex spatial and temporal diversity of the IRL. The overall project includes a network of 10 discrete project sites and 15 individual projects that cumulatively include restoration and/or enhancement of  seagrass (46 acres), oyster (6.5 acres), saltmarsh wetland (2,125 acres), and living shoreline (6,045 linear feet) habitats.  The project will also re-introduce native clams (21 million) to enhance seagrass habitat.  The ten individual projects will engage the community through site specific outreach events and volunteer opportunities. This project will re-establish connections between Banana Creek, the Indian River Lagoon, and Moore Creek to restore the hydrology to 2,000 acres of impounded wetlands.",
