Save the Indian River Lagoon Marine Resources Council

Marine Resources Council (MRC) coordinates Lagoon-wide efforts to Save the Indian River Lagoon, but we need your support to succeed. It will take a community to save the Lagoon, working at all levels.

MRC is holding government workshops, coordinating diverse stakeholder groups, showcasing community leaders, and working with businesses and individuals to encourage actions that will help save the Indian River Lagoon.

This website is managed by the Marine Resources Council, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that has been dedicated to protecting and restoring the Indian River Lagoon since 1983.
