Where did the dragline ditch restoration effort originate and who has adopted/permitted it?
The first pilot project was conducted in Canaveral National Seashore in 2000 by a team that included the National Park Service, the District and VCMC. A second project was conducted in Tomoka State Park. Dragline ditch restoration was subsequently included in District-developed, Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP)-approved Indian River Lagoon and Northern Coastal Basins Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) plans. It was also included in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Indian River Lagoon National Estuary Program’s Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan and DEP’s Mosquito Lagoon Aquatic Preserve Management Plan. FWC’s Division of Habitat and Species Conservation fully supports these efforts. These projects are implemented under environmental resource permits issued by DEP and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Habitat Conser
