21st IRL Action Assembly
In July, 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.
