Impact/Purpose:

The objective is to monitor sufficient physical and biological data necessary to quantitatively assess the recovery of the Bahia Grande using integrated and comprehensive approaches and partnerships.

Description:

Bahia Grande Restoration Project is located on a 6,000+ acre shallow basin that at one time was inundated with biological resources and was disrupted by human activity. The project is an attempt to restore Bahia Grande to its original state. Studies indicate that under favorable conditions, water may inundate approximately 6,500 acres of the Bahia Grande. Three water monitoring stations have been constructed in the basin.
