The Indian River Lagoon is the most biologically diverse estuary in North America. Like estuaries and coastal waters throughout the world, the Indian River Lagoon faces multiple and mounting threats related to increasing population and economic pressures. FAU Harbor Branch is a leader in Indian River Lagoon research, and the community is invited to support the effort.
FAU Harbor Branch’s Indian River Lagoon Symposium, to be held on Thursday, February 9, will convene several different agencies and organizations for a forum addressing current scientific research on the Indian River Lagoon and its management. The symposium will be held in the Institute’s Johnson Education Center and will be open to the interested public. For more information, click here
