Indian River Lagoon
Pollutant Load Reduction Model
Type: Condition of habitat and sources
affecting habitat (i.e., the condition or functionality of the habitat) and
stressors affecting habitat (i.e., which sources have contributed to
its degradation and whether they are direct or indirect factors).
Category: Submerged
Cost: $ 1.5 million
Description: A three-dimensional hydrodynamic model, incorporating
water quality and optical (light) components is used to calculate reductions
in pollutant loadings required to support a healthy seagrass community.
Outcome: The model is still in development. The St. John's
River Water Management District is committed to completing and implementing
the model in order to develop pollutant load reduction goals for the Indian
River Lagoon. It is anticipated that TMDLs will be based on the goals developed
by the pollution load reduction model.
