How You Can Help
From changing the way you tend your lawn, to planting native plants, to helping to keep trash out of the storm drains, there are many simple and easy ways to give our lagoon a break.
If you want to venture farther afield you can get involved in hands on restoration with shoreline cleanups, mangrove planting, lagoon monitoring, oyster gardening and living shorelines. Man a table at a special event or help educate the community with a presentation. There are always opportunities to teach others.
It doesn't matter how small your first step, it will be a step in the right direction.
