Anyone has any good documentation on Eco parks and restoring lagoons.I’m looking at working on a local polluted lagoon in Ghana using the concept of an ecopark to restore the lagoon

Las Vegas might be an odd example for Ghana, but this is a big project where I helped design the cienega/wetland restoration:

Take a look at this site http://www.uvm.edu/rsenr/nr288/resources/documents/casestudybrochur…
The Restorers may be something that would work for your park.
