December Lagoon at Noon - Dr. Laura Wilson and Mara Skadden

Join us at the Ted Moorhead Lagoon House as Dr. Laura Wilson and Mara Skadden of Marine Resources Council share an in-depth analysis of the 2025 Lagoon Health Report. Continuing the reimagined 2024 format, which assesses five health indicators—harmful algae, seagrass coverage, sediment health, wastewater spills, and water quality —this year’s report also includes a new health indicator: salinity. Health indicators were measured for each of the five sub-basins (north to south: Mosquito Lagoon, North Indian River Lagoon, Banana River Lagoon, Central Indian River Lagoon, and South Indian River Lagoon) on a scale from 0 (very poor) to 3 (good). The presenters will share the methods used to compile the report, provide an interpretation of the health indicators for each sub-basin, and offer tips on being a responsible steward of the Lagoon.

The seminar will end with a live Q&A session. Given the limited seating in the Lagoon House and an increased demand for in-person tickets, there is a $5 in-person attendance fee. Please feel free to bring your own lunch. Coffee and cookies will be provided. Viewing Lagoon at Noon presentations via Zoom remains free. We thank you for your continued support of our Lagoon at Noon Program.
