Marine and Coastal
The marine science and coastal resiliency program helps Brevard County protect the Indian River Lagoon, strengthen coastal ecosystems, and prepare for climate change. We deliver UF/IFAS and Florida Sea Grant resources through workshops, classes, webinars, and publications for homeowners, residents, local governments, and youth. Topics include water quality, sea level rise, green infrastructure, and sustainable coastal living. By translating science into practical steps, we build community capacity, support informed decision‑making, and advance resilience and environmental health across east‑central Florida.
Space Coast Regional Friends Group of the FMNP
The Friends Group comprises graduates of the Florida Master Naturalist Program, who work to promote conservation through education in our communities.
Florida Sea Grant
Florida Sea Grant connects science and communities to keep Florida’s coast healthy and thriving. As a university-based program, it supports research, education, and hands-on outreach that restore coastal habitats, sustain fisheries, boost coastal resilience, and help grow a strong coastal economy for the people who live, work, and play along Florida’s shores.
