From MyFox Tampa Bay:

In the past, that part of the bay was essentially used as a dumping ground. But for 50 years, several agencies have been working to clean it up.

It's become one of the largest, most complex coastal restoration projects in the Bay Area. But the wildlife aren't the only ones benefiting -- visitors are enjoying it too.
