  "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. The Samson Island project in the Banana River, part of the Indian River Lagoon Estuary, is a large scale seagrass and living shoreline project that aims to restore 10 acres of mixed seagrass species and stabilizing 700 linear feet of shoreline. These goals will be achieved by planing 15,000 seagrass planting units and 1,200 mangroves (shoreline).  Wave attenuation devices will also be implemented to reduce energy to aid seagrass recovery.",
