This is a public presentation of the Central and North Indian River Lagoon Basin Management Action Plans. The presentation is given as part of the Indian River Lagoon Day celebration at Front Street Park in Melbourne under the “Meet the Experts Tent”. The presentation will cover the importance of seagrasses in the Indian River Lagoon and how to reduce nutrient loadings to protect them. The Department will also have a booth at the event containing a display about the basin management action plans. Total Maximum Daily Loads for the Central and North Indian River Lagoons were adopted in March 2009 and require reductions in the loadings of total nitrogen and total phosphorus sufficient to meet seagrass depth limit targets.
