Tour Egret Marsh Stormwater Park

Egret Marsh is home to the county's first large-scale algal turf scrubber (ATS) system used for stormwater filtration. In simple terms, the facility uses algae as natural water filters, removing excess nutrients from stormwater before it reaches the Indian River Lagoon. It's a brilliant example of working with nature instead of against it.

But Egret Marsh does double duty. Beyond its water treatment role, the park's diverse wetland habitats provide critical refuge for dozens of bird species that have lost natural wetlands to development. You'll have the chance to observe wildlife thriving alongside this innovative engineering system.
