About the event
Join us for a special presentation by Dr. Duane DeFreese, Executive Director of the Indian River Lagoon National Estuary Program (One Water), as he shares new insights into the economic importance of the Indian River Lagoon.
With combined federal funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and NOAA, the Indian River Lagoon National Estuary Program has released its 2025 Economic Valuation Update. Conducted by The Balmoral Group, this research highlights how the lagoon supports local jobs, tourism, property values, and our overall quality of life. Discover why protecting the Indian River Lagoon needs to be both an environmental and economic priority.
