County model
Brevard is the launch point.
Brevard is the launch point for the project network, with one local story, clear project cards, real photos, and direct paths into the work.
Active work
Two Brevard projects, one lagoon focus.
Both projects center on the Indian River Lagoon and the choices Brevard residents make every day. Project: Save Our Lagoon focuses on classroom education and outreach. Project: BLACKOUT focuses on making the county fertilizer ordinance visible and easy to follow.
