Look closely at the Indian River Lagoon and youโ€™ll find a world hiding in plain sight.

A seagrass meadow is a nursery for young fish. Oyster reefs become bustling underwater neighborhoods. A mangrove shoreline shelters birds, crabs and countless tiny creatures. Beneath the surface, an entire ecosystem is constantly moving, feeding, growing and changing.

Sometimes the best way to care about the Lagoon is simply to wonder about it.

What lives beneath the surface?
Where does that water go?
How old is that oyster?
Why are the birds gathered there?
What will we discover tomorrow?

๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’™ Happy National Dog Day! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿพ

Today weโ€™re celebrating the unconditional love, joy, and companionship our four-legged friends bring to our lives! ๐Ÿถ

As we enjoy time with our pups, letโ€™s also do our part to protect the beautiful Indian River Lagoon. Picking up after your dog isnโ€™t just about keeping our neighborhoods cleanโ€”pet waste can carry nutrients and bacteria that make their way into waterways and contribute to harmful impacts on lagoon health.

So, when your pup does their business, ๐ฌ๐œ๐จ๐จ๐ฉ ๐ข๐ญ, ๐›๐š๐  ๐ข๐ญ, ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐จ๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ข๐ญ ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ญ๐ซ๐š๐ฌ๐ก (do not flush)๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ’ฉ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ Every action helps keep our community and the Indian River Lagoon healthy for everyone.
