We can't do it without YOU!


The Indian River Lagoon is the heart of our community. It's home to manatees, dolphins, wading birds, and thousands of other species, and it's where we fish, paddle, and make memories. Its future depends on the roots we plant today: seagrass that clears the water, mangroves that shield our shorelines, and oyster reefs that filter the lagoon naturally.


On November 1st we kicked off our 2026 End of Year fundraising campaign---Rooted in Tomorrow. Over the next two months, we’ve set an ambitious goal to raise $100,000 to continue our work restoring and protecting the Indian River Lagoon.


Today, we are excited to announce that we can start this campaign strong with a $30,000 match from the MRC Board of Directors! MRC is investing in ourself and you can, too. Double your impact to help us preserve the Indian River Lagoon for generations to come.

Give today to double your impact

Together in 2026, we were able to improve LagoonWatch water quality monitoring and reporting, plant living shorelines across the state, and advocate for better stormwater management. But the Lagoon is still fragile. Harmful algal blooms, stormwater runoff, and habitat loss continue to threaten our communities and the marine life that call this estuary home. To maintain our momentum into 2027, we need your continued partnership—because we have big plans! Next year, we plan to add more native coastal species to our mangrove nursery program, launch a Lagoon-wide flotilla to collect plastic trash, and explore the connection between Lagoon health and human health.

Campaign Progress

Early support gives us momentum and shows our community that the health of our Indian River Lagoon and coastal communities matters. Whatever you’re able to give, thank you for helping us get this started.


Let’s keep the momentum going.
