Brevard voters just made a powerful statement about the lagoon
Thanks to the voters of Brevard County for their overwhelming 75.5% support for continuing the Save Our Indian River Lagoon (SOIRL) restoration program for another 10 years. And many thanks to the many volunteers that worked so hard to make sure the public was informed about how successful the past 10 years have been. A special thanks to the Brevard Zoo for their messaging to their membership on how critical the lagoon is to our local environment and the wellbeing of our citizens as well as the critical work they are doing with the volunteers of the Restore Our Shores program. The support from our business community through the Space Coast area chambers of commerce, was strong as they recognize the $28B impact that the Indian River Lagoon has on the east Florida economy. Last, but not least, we recognize the impact of our amazing environmental non-profit organizations and their hundreds of volunteers. Including Marine Resources Council, Surfriders, Keep Brevard Beautiful, Native Plant Society, Save the Manatee Club, Friends of 1000 Islands, Sierra Club, 1000 Friends of Florida, Coastal Conservation Association and many more that you can find links to on our website at: www.helpthelagoon.org/the-coalition/partners .
