Indian River Lagoon....
The Indian River Lagoon is North America's most diverse estuary and is a body of water where freshwater draining from the land mixes with the ocean's salt water. The result is an environment teeming with plant and animal life. It varies in width from half a mile to 5 miles and averages only 3 feet in depth. In any one day along the Indian River Lagoon you will find people fishing, plying the waters in pleasure boats, observing the wildlife or simply relaxing.
Here in this mingling of fresh and salt water are thousands of species of plants and animals, more than in any other estuary in North America. The lagoon, therefore, is a productive and diverse waterway enabling companies like ours to contribute substantially to the economy of this region.

Indian River Lagoon stretches 156 miles along the east coast of Florida. The lagoon region encompasses portions of Volusia, Brevard, Indian River, St. Lucie, Martin and Palm Beach Counties.

Six small and widely spaced inlets connect the lagoon to the Atlantic Ocean. The size of these inlets and the shallow nature of the lagoon allows for a limited exchange of waters between the lagoon and the ocean. Within Indian River Lagoon you will find a unique and extremely diverse collection of habitats and species that occur nowhere else.
