Muck Capping: The Dredging Alternative That May Change How We Restore the IRL
Muck has been piling up on the Indian River Lagoon floor since the 1960s. This soft, nutrient-rich sediment goes by an unglamorous nickname here in Florida: “black mayonnaise.” Decades of development, ditching, and draining pushed sediment and organic material into the estuary. Even if every new source of pollution stopped tomorrow, that legacy muck would stick around — feeding algal blooms and smothering the seagrass habitats fish and wildlife depend on. In this episode, two AECOM environm...

Nature Pays: How Ecotourism is Benefitting Indian River Lagoon Counties
In 2016, algae outbreaks hit Martin County hard here in Florida. Nerissa Okiye, the county’s tourism director, calls it the “lost summer.” National news crews arrived for the Fourth of July, and many outfitters couldn’t keep their businesses going due to toxic algae ruining outdoor recreation. Today, the county runs a free, award-winning ecotourism program that puts visitors and residents on its beaches, preserves and trails. In this episode of One Lagoon, One Voice, host Caleta Scott s...

Reconnected: Reviving the Indian River Lagoon by Reconnecting Isolated Wetlands
Florida's mosquito control districts built earthen dikes around coastal wetlands starting in the mid-1950s. Flooding marshes with water interrupted the breeding cycle of salt marsh mosquitoes, which lay eggs on moist — but not wet — mud. Flooding impounded marshes worked … but it also cut those wetlands off from the Indian River Lagoon (IRL). Today, restoration scientists are reconnecting them, letting water move the way nature intended. In this episode of One Lagoon, One Voice, IRLNE...

Invisible Infrastructure: How Baffle Boxes Filter Stormwater Before It Reaches the Lagoon
Every time it rains, stormwater carries trash, sediment, nitrogen and phosphorus into the Indian River Lagoon (IRL). But underground sits a growing network of concrete boxes that most Floridians will never notice. Those boxes are silently cleaning stormwater runoff before it arrives in the lagoon. In this episode of One Lagoon, One Voice, host Heather Stapleton chats with Dani Straub, Assistant City Engineer for the City of Melbourne, Florida. They cover how a technology invented decades ago...

What Fish Populations Are Telling Us About the IRL's Health
Every fishing regulation in Florida (every bag limit, every closed season) traces back to data. Biologists at the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) have been collecting it in the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) for 36 years. They use the same standardized, rigorous methods, time after time. In this episode of One Lagoon, One Voice, IRLNEP Chief Operating Officer Dan Kolodny talks with Derek Tremain, research administrator for the FWC's Fisheries-Independent Monitoring Program ...

Seeds of Recovery: A Hidden Seed Bank Bringing Seagrass Back to the Indian River Lagoon
For over a decade, persistent algal blooms clouded the Indian River Lagoon (IRL), blocking the sunlight seagrass needs to survive. Since 2011, that loss has rippled through the food web: fewer fish, fewer manatees, a lagoon under stress. The latest seagrass surveys tell a fresh tale. After years of decline, seagrass is rebounding in five of the six lagoon sub-basins. Part of the answer may have been sitting in the sediment all this time. In this episode of One Lagoon, One Voice, Deputy Dire...

What Dolphins Are Telling Us About the Indian River Lagoon's Recovery
About 1,000 bottlenose dolphins call the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) home for most of their lives. Researchers have tracked this resident population for 18 years, photo-identifying around 2,000 individual dolphins, and know many by name. But research shows a disturbing pattern. Most dolphins are thin, some dangerously so. The reasons trace straight back to the lagoon’s health. In this episode of One Lagoon, One Voice, host Jessy Wayles talks with Wendy Noke, Senior Research Scientist at Hubbs...
