2026 MRC Low Impact Development Conference

October 22–23, 2026

Low Impact Development as a Shared Solution

MRC’s 6th Annual Low Impact Development Conference covers a full range of tools and highlights case studies that demonstrate cost-effective means to set and meet pollution load reductions, recharge groundwater aquifers, and prevent flooding. Following on last year’s success, the 2026 conference has a call for abstracts to encourage organizations across the region to share their projects, as well as a pre-conference field trip.

Registation is also available for exhibitors and sponsors. These opportunites allow for increased visibility and recognition, networking with potential customers, partners, and industry peers, and lead generation. Register today to secure your spot and take full advantage of marketing opportunities.

21st IRL Action Assembly

In July 2024, Marine Resources Council hosted a two-day Indian River Lagoon Action Assembly on the Florida Institute of Technology campus to address critical issues and develop actionable strategies for restoring and protecting the IRL. One hundred and forty-seven delegates and facilitators representing almost 100 different nonprofit organizations, businesses, and municipalities, along with a significant number of independent concerned citizens, volunteered their time and experience.
