The Indian River Lagoon Initiative is an ongoing project to restore, protect and enhance the lagoon and its tributaries. Funding through this initiative will help to restore and enhance the lagoon. The lagoon provides 50% of the east Florida fish catch and 90% of Florida's clam harvest. In addition, the basin is a designated priority water body under the 1987 Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) Act. Examples of subprojects that could be funded through this request follow. This list is in alphabetical order and is not a complete listing. *Ambient Monitoring Leading to Total Maximum Daily Loads. *C-1 Rediversion:Turkey Creek Basin. *Cooperative Surface Water Program: Sebastian River Water Control District. *Cooperative Surface Water Program: Town of Fellsmere *Establishment of Pollution Load Reduction Goals and Assessment of Environmental Health Leading to Total Maximum Daily Loads. *Estuarine Impoundment Reconnections and Fisheries Enhancement *Land Acquistion: Implementation of the Indian River Lagoon Blueway and other Acquisition Inititiatives *Local Government Cooperative Stormwater Programs: Sebastian River Basin *Local Government Stormwater Programs: Other Priority Basins *Regional Surface Water Programs: Indian River Farms Water Control District *Sebastian River Muck Removal *Wetland and Shoreline Habitat Creation or Enhancement *Wetland Initiative in the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge |
