However, the lagoon has been facing the challenge of pollutant accumulation, affecting its overall health and vitality. In response to this concern, the City took proactive measures to secure the necessary funding to address the issue head-on.
The grants, obtained from the state, will be instrumental in supporting the city's stormwater management initiatives. By implementing a series of strategic projects, the city aims to minimize pollutant runoff into the Indian River Lagoon, safeguarding its ecological balance and enhancing water quality.
