Our first projects.
Both projects focus on the Indian River Lagoon and everyday choices Brevard residents make. Project: Save Our Lagoon ran classroom lessons, nitrogen tests, and runoff demos at two elementary schools. Project: BLACKOUT places ordinance reminders near fertilizer displays and storm drains.

County work
What students are working on now.
Brevard is where we test classroom lessons, build outreach materials, and organize ordinance campaigns before other counties start their own chapters.
Project: BLACKOUT
The team places ordinance information near fertilizer decisions and stormwater entry points.
Chapter growth
Student teams can organize new outreach, restoration education, and public awareness work through the chapter.
