The answer is B) Nitrogen! 🎉

When it rains, water can flow across lawns, driveways, parking lots, and roads, picking up fertilizers, pet waste, grass clippings, and other nitrogen-containing pollutants before draining toward canals, ditches, storm drains, and the Indian River Lagoon.

Extra nitrogen acts like food for algae. Phosphorus can also contribute, which is why lagoon-friendly habits focus on reducing both. Too many nutrients can fuel algal blooms that cloud the water, block sunlight from reaching seagrass, lower oxygen levels, and affect fish and other lagoon wildlife. 🌊

The good news? Simple yard habits help. Skipping fertilizer during the rainy season (June 1 - September 30), picking up after pets, keeping grass clippings out of streets and storm drains, and choosing lagoon-friendly landscaping all reduce nutrient pollution.
Every yard counts. 🌱

🌱 Marine Resources Council needs more mangrove propagules!

🌳 The red mangrove propagules have been rolling in, and we're so grateful for the folks who have been diligent in picking them up and donating them to our restoration nursery, but we're still short on white and black propagules for this season.

😊 Follow the guidance in the image on how to collect mangrove propagules, and bring them to the Ted Moorhead Lagoon House if you find any! Have questions? Send us an email!
