<CF12>Recovery Cam??!!

The Huntington Beach restoration project can be seen nline through time lapse photography, as  workers restore 41 acres of wetland and reconnect it with the open ocean.

 The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration installed a camera at the site in early October and the camera's images are now live online. See restoration in living color by going to: http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/habitat/restoration/webcam.html.

NOAA granted $3.3 million to the project that provides green jobs while restoring habitat for a range of fish, birds and other wildlife.

 
The restoration project is one of 50 NOAA habitat restoration projects across the nation that are receiving funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. At the website, you can also see restoration work unfold on the shores of Lake Michigan and on a coastal river in New Hampshire.
