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.
