Presented by Brandon Smith, Environmental Specialist at the Brevard County Save Our Indian River Lagoon Program

Tuesday, September 9th, 2025 at 12:00PM Eastern

There are many sources of pollution impacting the Indian River Lagoon. Learn how the Save Our Indian River Lagoon Plan is putting the ½ cent sales tax to work to reduce and remove pollution while restoring essential habitats, and responding with new technology to get to a healthier lagoon.

The seminar will end with a live Q&A session. Given the limited seating in the Lagoon House and an increased demand for in-person tickets, there is a $5 in-person attendance fee. Please feel free to bring your own lunch. Coffee and cookies will be provided. Viewing Lagoon at Noon presentations via Zoom continues to be free. We thank you for your continued support of our Lagoon at Noon Program.

The Zoom link will be in your confirmation email. A recording of the presentation will be posted to MRC's YouTube page for future viewing.

Thank You!
