The ECF Diamond Awards celebrate the best of the best from across our region. In February, we named Brevard County Save Our Indian River Lagoon as our 2026 Brilliance Award of Regional Impact winner.

This voter-approved, science-backed initiative represents a $500M+ investment in regional sustainability. With over 115 completed projects focused on nutrient reduction, muck removal, and habitat restoration, the program demonstrates how collaborative governance drives real water quality improvements and long-term resilience.
