Wetland Reconnection: <br /> More than 31,000 acres of formerly <br /> isolated wetlands impounded for <br /> mosquito control have been ^� <br /> ..ti reconnected. 4 <br /> i Early impoundment design cut <br /> off mangrove marshes from the <br /> lagoon and decreased habitat <br /> available to juvenile fishes and . -�;, <br /> invertebrates. It also eliminated or <br /> altered vegetation in impounded <br /> areas. <br /> Our long-term goal is to reconnect <br /> all impoundments to the lagoon <br /> through water control structures <br /> which flood impoundments during <br /> mosquito breeding season, but keep <br /> them open to the lagoon at other <br /> times so natural flow patterns are <br /> maintained. <br /> Habitat Restoration and Protection: <br /> Oyster restoration in Mosquito Lagoon: <br /> A public participation program that has restored over 50 dead or <br /> damaged reefs in southern Mosquito Lagoon <br /> t, <br /> K INV <br /> ' II ry <br /> AL <br /> `=M,"T <br /> MR <br /> � r <br /> A <br /> ~1 ` x- 12 <br />
