Stretching along 156 miles of Florida's East Coast, the Indian
River Lagoon contains the St. Lucie estuary, the Mosquito Lagoon,
Banana River Lagoon, and the Indian River. It is a delicate
ecosystem of shifting barrier islands and varying salinity levels
due to its many inlets that open and close onto the ocean. The
long, ribbon-like lagoon spans both temperate and subtropical
climates, resulting in the most biologically diverse estuarine
system in the United States. Nineteen canals and five man-made
inlets have dramatically reshaped the region in the past two
centuries, intensifying its natural instability and challenging its
diversity. Indian River Lagoon traces the winding story of the
waterway, showing how humans have altered the area to fit their
needs and also how the lagoon has influenced the cultures along its
shores. Now stuck in transition between a place of labor and a
place of recreation, the lagoon has become a chief focus of public
concern. This book provides a much-needed bigger picture as debates
continue over how best to restore this natural resource.
