Stormwater Awareness Week
|
The health of the Indian River Lagoon starts in YOUR back yard!
|
|
|
|
Stormwater is rain that flows over streets, lawns, and rooftops instead of soaking into the ground. Along the way, it can pick up fertilizers, oil, trash, and other pollutants, carrying them straight into the Indian River Lagoon. This polluted runoff fuels algal blooms, reduces seagrass, and harms fish, manatees, and other wildlife.

We all have a role to play in protecting the water that falls on land to improve our community and waterway health.
