Local policies that affect land use, septic tanks, fertilizer use, dredging, and others can impact the health and restoration of the Indian River Lagoon.
Below is a list of state and federal elected officials you can contact directly to encourage that they protect and restore the Indian River Lagoon.
Your local officials have the greatest local power to help restore the lagoon. They are influenced by the voices of their constituency! Get to know our local officials and encourage them to adopt strong fertilizer ordinances, to require septic tank inspections, and to protect natural buffers along the Indian River Lagoon.
