The Upper St. Johns River Basin Project spans 166,500 acres in Indian River and Brevard counties, featuring four water management areas, four marsh conservation areas, and two marsh restoration areas. It emphasizes minimal water control structures and construction, reinforcing dikes and redirecting agricultural drainage to enhance water quality and marsh ecosystems. Designed to hold up to 500,000 acre-feet of water during severe storms, it provides natural flood protection.
