Stretching along 156 miles of Florida's East Coast, the Indian River Lagoon contains St. Lucie Estuary, Mosquito Lagoon, Banana River Lagoon, and Indian River. This is a delicate ecosystem is shifting the barrier islands and the different levels of salinity in connection with numerous inlets, which open and close to the ocean. The long, ribbon-like lagoon covers both temperate and subtropical climate, which leads to the most biologically diverse estuary system in the United States.

Nineteen channels and five artificial intake dramatically changed the face of the region for the past two centuries, reinforcing its natural instability and call it diversity. Indian River Lagoon traces the tortuous history of the waterway, showing how people have changed the area to meet their needs, as well as the lagoon influenced culture along its banks. Currently stuck in the transition between the place of work and resting place, the lagoon has become a major focus of public concern. This book provides a much-needed big picture, as the debate continues over the how to restore this natural resource better.
