  "projectDescription": "Volunteer divers worked with NOAA Fisheries and the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay to successfully transplant 3,500 sprigs of eelgrass at Dodson Point and Rosecroft Point on the St. Mary's River in Maryland. The community-based restoration project was designed to assess the effectiveness of transplanting seagrass at sites where water quality requirements are met but no grasses exist.  It also evaluated the feasibility of using volunteer divers in seagrass restoration projects.",
