The Indian River Lagoon:
The Indian River Lagoon is a diverse, shallow-water estuary stretching across 40 percent of Florida's east coast. Spanning 156 miles from Ponce de Leon Inlet in Volusia County to Jupiter Inlet in Palm Beach County, the lagoon is an important commercial and recreational fishery and economic resource to the state and region. The total estimated annual economic value of the lagoon is $3.7 billion, supporting 15,000 full and part-time jobs and providing recreational opportunities for 11 million people per year. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Back-to-back algae outbreaks threaten all life in Indian River Lagoon
Dead sea grass piles up on the shores of the Indian River Lagoon.... August 20, 2012 By Kevin Spear, Orlando Sentinel TITUSVILLE — The lagoon that hugs much of Florida's east coast and has the richest array of marine plants, fish and wildlife in North America is under attack from the worst known outbreak of harmful algae in its history. A large portion of the Indian River Lagoon, an essential estuary for everything from manatees and sea turtles to sport fish and shrimp, now has the appearance of muddy water, as if roiled by the runoff of a flash flood.
