Low Impact Living has Launched!
Low Impact Living builds on the principles of sustainable land development (Low Impact Development) by adding individual action. We’re employing education, empowerment, advocacy, and demonstrations to encourage Lagoon-friendly living on all scales: individual, family, community, and municipal. Check back as we add more information, resources, and tips-and-tricks to the website.
2024 Indian River Lagoon Report
The Report is an annual health assessment of the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) and is the evolution of the Marine Resources Council (MRC) Report Card, first published in 2016. This year, MRC scientists gathered data from partner and government organizations to assess five Lagoon health indicators: harmful algae, seagrass coverage, sediment health, wastewater spills, and water quality.
