Good News about the Indian River Lagoon

There is good news coming out of Tallahassee about Florida’s Indian River Lagoon this week. The IRL is the home of the most diverse estuary in North America and it could use some help. And help is on the way.

The new funding is substantial, $100 million, to be precise and will fund 21 separate priority water quality projects which will benefit this vital ecosystem for years to come.

I’ve spent many, many an hour all throughout Titusville and Greater Brevard and am delighted to see this funding come to pass. It’s by far the best thing to happen to the lagoon and the Spacecoast region in general in many years.

If you’d like to know more about the help coming soon to the Indian River Lagoon, following this link from Orlando’s CBS affiliate would be a good place to start.
