Aquatic habitat restoration projects consist of one or more large ponded units that may be subdivided into one or more smaller ponds created by internal subdivision berms. Depending on site characteristics, projects may be designed to consist of suitable deep-, mid- and shallow aquatic habitat to support fish and piscivorous birds. The primary water supply for the ponds is a combination of brackish river water and hypersaline water from the Sea, but other sources may be used as well. Aquatic habitat restoration projects could also include mudflats and permanent vegetated wetlands in conjunction with the ponds to support shorebird and marsh bird foraging and nesting.
