Pause the Fertilizer to Protect the Lagoon.

Today marks the start of the Summer Fertilizer Blackout Period in the Indian River Lagoon watershed. From June 1 to September 30, nitrogen-containing fertilizer is prohibited from being applied to lawns and landscaping.

During Florida’s rainy season, fertilizer can quickly wash off lawns and into storm drains or be pushed past a lawn's root zone and into groundwater that flows directly to our waterways. Taking a break from fertilizing during the next four months helps reduce nutrient pollution and supports cleaner water, healthier seagrass, and a stronger Lagoon ecosystem.

The good news? Your lawn usually doesn’t need fertilizer this time of year thanks to regular rains.

Small actions at home can make a big difference for the Indian River Lagoon. Stopping pollution at the source also makes SOIRL's large-scale pollution-reduction projects work more efficiently. Working together, we can get to a healthier Lagoon faster. 🌿💧
