Multiple Sources Require a “Yes, And” Control Strategy
Pollution of our Lagoon comes from many sources:
#1 Muck Flux, the black goo buildup from 70 years buildup on the Lagoon floor releasing pollution.
#2 Baseflow: Pollution from septic systems, reclaimed water, and leaky sewer pipes seeps through our sandy soil to the Lagoon.
#3 Stormwater Runoff: rain sweeping pollution off our land into the Lagoon.
#4 Atmospheric Deposition: pollution depositing out of the air.
#5 Point Sources (Sewage Plants): These are minor contributors now but the dominant source of pollution before 1996.
Healing Our Lagoon requires controlling each of these sources: Exactly what the Save Our Indian River Lagoon (SOIRL) Plan is doing with our ½¢ tax. See: https://helpthelagoon.org/projects-and-plans/restoration-projects/
