Indian River LagoonShoreline Restoration Program
Category: Intertidal and Wetland Cost: ~ $60,000/year Description: Planting of shoreline vegetation to restore barren shorelines. Mangroves have been planted and monitored at more than 30 sites throughout the Indian River Lagoon. The mangroves were planted using PVC encasements (pipe) on moderate- to high-energy shorelines. The encasements were used to protect against plant loss until the plants were established. Outcome: This project provides a number of benefits; including habitat restoration, public involvement, and public education.
