Daily Lagoon Life Report from Florida's Indian River Lagoon in Sebastian, FL. – July 24, 2026

Good Morning from Florida's Indian River Lagoon

Good morning from Pelican Landing in Sebastian along Florida's Indian River Lagoon.

Welcome to today's Lagoon Life Report, where we explore the weather, wildlife, waterfront communities, parks, local food, and everyday moments that make life along the Indian River Lagoon so special.

Lagoon Conditions

Time:  11:30 AM
Air Temperature: 84 - high of 90 with a 75% of rain
Humidity:  81%
Wind Direction & Speed:  SW at 7-10
Tide Stage:  High at 10 AM and Low at 5:30 PM
Moon Phase:  Full.  Rise at 8PM and set at 5:30 AM
Water Conditions:  Flat and calm with minnows rippling the surface

Today's Lagoon Life:

Today the bait fish are everywhere.  The occasional mullet jumping through the air and the occasional snook popping the water surface eating a mouth full of those bait fish!  The blue heron, egret and great blue heron working the shore are a testament to the food in the water.

Lagoon Living Tip of the Day:

Learn the Names of Your Feathered Neighbors

One of the pleasures of living along the Indian River Lagoon is recognizing the birds you see every day.

Challenge yourself to identify just five common species:

• 🦅 Osprey
• 🐦 Great Blue Heron
• 🦢 Great Egret
• 🪶 Brown Pelican
• 🩷 Roseate Spoonbill

Once you know their names, you'll start noticing their behaviors, favorite habitats, and even the seasons when they're most active. The lagoon becomes much richer when its wildlife feels familiar instead of anonymous.

Today's Lagoon Spotlight

St. Sebastian River Preserve State Park

Spanning more than 22,000 acres across Indian River and Brevard counties, the St. Sebastian River Preserve State Park protects one of the largest remaining natural landscapes in east-central Florida. While it's managed as a state park, its mission goes far beyond recreation. The preserve safeguards wetlands, pine flatwoods, scrub habitat, floodplains, and the headwaters that feed the St. Sebastian River, which ultimately flows into the Indian River Lagoon. Healthy headwaters are essential for healthy downstream waters.

The preserve offers opportunities to:

• 🥾 Hike through diverse Florida ecosystems
• 🚴 Explore miles of multi-use trails
• 🐦 Observe birds, deer, gopher tortoises, and other wildlife
• 🛶 Learn about the watershed that nourishes the lagoon
• 🎓 Participate in educational and stewardship programs
• 🤝 Support conservation by visiting and sharing its natural resources

Protecting the lagoon begins upstream. Places like the St. Sebastian River Preserve quietly filter water, reduce flooding, provide wildlife habitat, and remind us that conservation often starts miles away from the shoreline.

Lagoon Lifestyle & Real Estate

Pay Attention to the Trees

Mature trees can be one of a property's greatest assets, especially here on the Treasure Coast where shade makes outdoor living much more enjoyable.

As you tour a home, look at:

• 🌳 The overall health of large trees
• 🏠 Whether limbs overhang the roof
• 💨 How trees might perform during hurricanes
• 🌞 Where they'll provide shade in the afternoon
• 🌴 Whether they're native species that thrive in Florida

Healthy, well-maintained trees add beauty, reduce cooling costs, provide wildlife habitat, and can increase curb appeal. Neglected trees, however, can become expensive maintenance projects.

Thinking About Life Along the Lagoon?

Whether you're planning a visit, considering a move, or simply enjoy following life along Florida's Indian River Lagoon, I hope these daily reports help you experience one of Florida's most beautiful regions.

If you're looking for local insight about waterfront living or real estate anywhere along the lagoon, I'd be happy to help.

Every report is another chapter in the story of life along Florida's Indian River Lagoon. Thanks for following along.

Lagoon Conditions

Time:  11:30 AM
Air Temperature:  88 and a high of 91
Humidity:  91% - sticky!
Wind Direction & Speed:  West at 5-7
Tide Stage:  High at 9 AM and Low at 4 PM

Today's Lagoon Life:

Everything was pretty quiet today.  It was close to mid day and even nature knows its best to be under cover or in the shade in the afternoon on a Florida summer day.

Lagoon Living Tip of the Day:

Become a Citizen Scientist

You don't need a science degree to help protect the Indian River Lagoon.

Many local organizations welcome volunteers to:

• 🐦 Count birds during seasonal surveys
• 🌿 Plant native vegetation
• 🦪 Restore oyster reefs
• 🧪 Monitor water quality
• 🚮 Remove litter from shorelines
• 📸 Document wildlife observations

Spending a few hours volunteering is a wonderful way to learn more about the lagoon while making a meaningful contribution to its future.

Wildlife & Nature

Today was pretty quite besides some mullet jumping around and a blue heron did fly in during my video filming.

Today's Lagoon Spotlight

One Lagoon

Protecting a 156-mile estuary takes teamwork, and that's exactly what One Lagoon is all about. Rather than being a single nonprofit, One Lagoon is a collaborative initiative that brings together local governments, scientists, businesses, conservation organizations, educators, and residents with one shared goal: restoring and protecting the Indian River Lagoon. Through public education, restoration projects, volunteer events, and community partnerships, the initiative helps connect people with opportunities to make a real difference.

Some of the ways One Lagoon supports the community include:

• 🌊 Coordinating lagoon restoration efforts across multiple counties
• 🌱 Promoting native landscaping and fertilizer best practices
• 🦪 Highlighting oyster reef and seagrass restoration projects
• 🤝 Connecting volunteers with local conservation organizations
• 📚 Providing educational resources for residents, teachers, and students
• 📅 Sharing community events focused on protecting the lagoon

What makes One Lagoon especially valuable is that it reminds us no single organization can restore the lagoon alone. Success comes from thousands of people making small, positive contributions that add up over time.

Lagoon Lifestyle & Real Estate

Don't Forget to Budget for the First Year

Many buyers focus on the down payment and monthly mortgage, but the first year of homeownership often comes with additional expenses.

Plan ahead for things like:

• 🔧 Minor repairs and maintenance
• 🌴 Landscaping or tree trimming
• 🪟 Window treatments
• 🪑 Furniture and storage
• 🛠️ Basic tools and emergency supplies
• 💡 Utility deposits or service upgrades

Setting aside a "new homeowner fund" can make the transition much smoother and help you enjoy your new home instead of worrying about unexpected costs.

Lagoon Living Tip of the Day:

Keep a "Lagoon Bag" Ready to Go

One of the best parts of living here is that an ordinary afternoon can suddenly become the perfect time to head for the water.

Keep a small bag packed with:

• 🧴 Sunscreen
• 🧢 A hat
• 🔭 Binoculars
• 💧 A reusable water bottle
• 📷 A camera or phone charger
• 🦟 Insect repellent

When the weather is right or dolphins are spotted, you'll be ready to enjoy the lagoon without having to plan a big outing.

Indian River Land Trust

Protecting the Indian River Lagoon isn't only about restoring water quality. It's also about protecting the land that surrounds it.

The Indian River Land Trust (IRLT) works to conserve waterways, open spaces, and natural landscapes throughout Indian River County. By partnering with landowners and the community, the Trust has permanently protected thousands of acres of environmentally significant land, including stretches of the St. Sebastian River, helping preserve wildlife habitat, improve water quality, and expand public access to nature. Their mission is to protect, improve, provide access to, and promote the preservation of waterways, open spaces, and green places for today's residents and future generations.

Their work includes:

• 🌿 Conserving environmentally sensitive lands
• 🚶 Creating public trails and nature preserves
• 🐦 Protecting wildlife habitat
• 🌊 Preserving river corridors and lagoon shorelines
• 🤝 Working with private landowners on voluntary conservation easements
• 🎓 Offering educational programs and guided nature experiences

One of my favorite ideas behind the Land Trust is that conservation and public enjoyment can go hand in hand. Every preserved property gives wildlife a place to thrive while giving residents another opportunity to experience Old Florida.

Lagoon Lifestyle & Real Estate

Check Cell Service Before You Buy

It may sound simple, but reliable cell service and internet connectivity can make a huge difference in your daily life, especially if you work remotely or rely on smart home devices.

While touring a home:

• 📶 Check your phone's signal strength inside and outside.
• 💻 Ask what internet providers serve the neighborhood.
• 📹 Consider upload speeds if you use video calls or security cameras.
• 📱 Test service in rooms where you'll spend the most time.

A beautiful home is even better when it keeps you connected to the people and work that matter.

Good Morning from The Indian River Lagoon in Florida

Good morning from the dock along the Indian River Lagoon in Sebastian, Florida. Here’s your daily waterfront weather, fishing, and wildlife report for Thursday July March 18, 2026.

This morning I'm back on my dock and having a slow morning after a busy past few days.

🌤 Waterfront Weather Conditions

Time: 10 AM

Air Temperature: 84°F - high of 88

Humidity: 80%

Wind Direction & Speed: NE at 5 MPH - a rare direction this summer

Tide Stage: High at 6 AM and Low around 1 PM

Moon Phase: First 1/4 - rise at 4 PM and set at 1:30 AM

Water Conditions: Low with a light ripple.  Visibility has improved in the past few days.  Maybe that water spout churned everything up?

Lagoon Living Tip for the Day:

Watch the Edges

The most interesting parts of the Indian River Lagoon are often where two habitats meet.

Keep an eye on:

• Mangroves meeting open water
• Oyster bars bordering grass flats
• Docks casting shade
• Marsh grasses along creek mouths
• Sandy bottoms transitioning to seagrass

These transition zones attract baitfish, crabs, shrimp, birds, and larger game fish because they provide both food and shelter. Whether you're fishing, kayaking, or simply observing wildlife, the "edges" are where nature is often at its busiest.

🎣 Fishing Activity & Wildlife Sightings

Fairly quiet but there is 1 pelican on the neighbors dock.  I saw a turn flying south by itself.  The same as a lone male dolphin cruising the waters heading south.  Not feeding just passing through.

🌊 Indian River Lagoon Spotlight

Kashi Foundation

Just west of the Indian River Lagoon in Sebastian, the Kashi Foundation has spent decades fostering community, environmental stewardship, and mindful living. Best known for creating the Kashi Ashram and supporting the nearby ChoZen Eco-Retreat, the foundation encourages people to live in greater harmony with one another and with the natural world.

Their work includes:

• 🌿 Environmental stewardship and sustainable land practices
• 🧘 Community wellness and educational programs
• 🌳 Native landscaping and habitat preservation
• 🤝 Volunteer opportunities and community events
• 🌎 Supporting projects that connect people with nature

One of the things I appreciate about Kashi is its philosophy that caring for ourselves, our neighbors, and our environment are all connected. That mindset fits beautifully with life along the Indian River Lagoon, where healthy communities and healthy ecosystems go hand in hand.

🏡 Lagoon Real Estate Suggestion of The Day

Visit a Home at Sunset

Many buyers tour homes during the middle of the day, but one of the best times to visit is in the early evening.

A sunset visit can reveal:

• 🌅 How natural light fills the home
• 🌴 Whether the backyard becomes a comfortable gathering space
• 🚶 Neighbors walking, biking, or enjoying the community
• 🐦 Evening sounds from birds instead of traffic
• 💡 Street lighting and neighborhood ambiance

Here on the Treasure Coast, outdoor living is part of the lifestyle. Seeing a home during "golden hour" often tells you more about how it feels to live there than a quick midday showing.

Today I give a tour of Fisherman's Landing in Sebastian, FL and while it is a park it is for commercial fishermen only. A testament to the once thriving fishing industry that used to be here.

For a much better description on the fishing industry here are some great resources.

The Chamber of Commerce has a nice succinct history HERE.

For a great video on it WATCH THIS.

And lastly here is the State parks take on the history. HERE

Good Morning from The Indian River Lagoon in Florida

Good morning from the dock along the Indian River Lagoon in Rockledge, Florida. Here’s your daily waterfront weather, fishing, and wildlife report for Tuesday July 21, 2026.

Today I'm on the dock at The Dock at River Rocks.  Location Brevard county north of Melbourne along US 1 and the Indian River Lagoon.  From here you look across to Merritt Island which splits the lagoon into the Indian River and the Banana River.

🌤 Waterfront Weather Conditions

Time: 8:30 AM

Air Temperature: 80°F - high of 90

Humidity: 79%

Wind Direction & Speed: SW at 10 MPH - it helps!

Lagoon Living Tip for the Day:

Watch for Pollinators Along the Lagoon

The Indian River Lagoon isn't just about fish, dolphins, and birds.

Native bees, butterflies, and other pollinators quietly support the coastal ecosystem by helping native plants reproduce. Those plants stabilize shorelines, provide wildlife habitat, and reduce erosion.

The next time you're walking a waterfront trail, notice the flowering plants buzzing with life. Healthy pollinator populations contribute to healthy native landscapes, which in turn benefit the lagoon.

Sometimes the smallest creatures make the biggest difference.

🎣 Fishing Activity & Wildlife Sightings

Not much time for wildlife viewing this AM and none flew or swam directly to me so nothing to report today.

🌊 Indian River Lagoon Spotlight

Treasure Coast Beekeepers Association

Healthy lagoons begin on land, and one of the best ways to support healthy landscapes is by protecting pollinators. The Treasure Coast Beekeepers Association (TCBA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating residents about bees, beekeeping, and the essential role pollinators play in Florida's ecosystems. Through classes, demonstrations, and community outreach, they help both experienced and aspiring beekeepers learn science-based, sustainable practices.

Their work includes:

• 🐝 Beekeeping education for beginners and experienced keepers
• 🌼 Pollinator conservation and habitat awareness
• 🏫 Community outreach and educational events
• 🌿 Promoting pollinator-friendly landscaping
• 🤝 Connecting local beekeepers to share knowledge and best practices

While honeybees don't live in the lagoon itself, they help sustain the native plants that support the broader watershed. Every pollinator garden planted in our communities strengthens the web of life that ultimately benefits the Indian River Lagoon.

🏡 Lagoon Real Estate Suggestion of The Day

Spend Time in the Backyard Before You Buy

When showing homes, I always encourage buyers to spend a few extra minutes outside.

Ask yourself:

• 🌅 Where will you enjoy your morning coffee?
• 🍔 Is there room to entertain family and friends?
• 🌴 Will the afternoon sun make the patio too hot?
• 🌺 Is there space for a native garden?
• 🛶 Can you store your kayak, paddleboard, or boat?

On the Treasure Coast, outdoor living is part of everyday life. A backyard that invites you outside can become your favorite "room" in the house.

Good Morning from The Indian River Lagoon in Florida

Good morning from the dock along the Indian River Lagoon in Sebastian, Florida. Here’s your daily waterfront weather, fishing, and wildlife report for Monday July 20, 2026.

I big day on the dock and a big weekend on the Lagoon.

Check out the water spout video from the deck of Sebastian Saltwater on Saturday!

And then today on the dock I had my best single cast net performance ever for this location.  5 nice mullet in one cast.

🌤 Waterfront Weather Conditions

Wind Direction & Speed: S at 8-10 MPH

Tide Stage: Low at 10:30 AM and High around 4 PM

Moon Phase: First Quarter - rise at 1 PM

Water Conditions: Low level, light ripple on the surface but low visibility.

Lagoon Living Tip for the Day:

Explore a New Waterfront Park

Living along the Indian River Lagoon means you have dozens of waterfront parks within a short drive, each with its own personality.

This week, challenge yourself to visit one you've never explored.

You might discover:

• A hidden fishing pier
• A quiet kayak launch
• An unexpected birdwatching spot
• A picnic area with incredible sunset views
• A trail you've driven past a hundred times

Sometimes the best part of lagoon living isn't traveling farther. It's noticing what's been right around the corner all along.

🎣 Fishing Activity & Wildlife Sightings

Besides the mullet it was pretty quiet but I did also catch a baby pinfish and that's what those schools of bait are besides the glass minnows.  The pinfish have babies all over the place!

🌊 Indian River Lagoon Spotlight

Friends of St. Sebastian River

Few organizations are more closely tied to Sebastian's identity than the Friends of St. Sebastian River (FSSR). Their mission is simple but powerful: protect the habitat and natural resources of the St. Sebastian River while educating the public about why this remarkable watershed matters.

The St. Sebastian River is one of the largest freshwater contributors to the Indian River Lagoon, making its health essential to the entire lagoon ecosystem. By protecting the river upstream, FSSR helps improve water quality downstream where so many of us boat, fish, paddle, and enjoy waterfront living.

Their work includes:

• 🌿 Habitat restoration and conservation
• 🚮 River and shoreline cleanups
• 🎓 Educational programs and guest speakers
• 🛶 Public paddling trips and nature outings
• 🤝 Volunteer opportunities for residents of all ages
• 📢 Advocacy for protecting the St. Sebastian River watershed

This is exactly the kind of grassroots organization that makes a difference. They're not just preserving a river. They're helping preserve the character of Sebastian itself.

🏡 Lagoon Real Estate Suggestion of The Day

Buy the Location First, Then the House

One of the few things you can never renovate is the location.

Countertops can be replaced.
Paint colors can change.
Landscaping grows.

But you can't move the neighborhood.

When evaluating a home, ask yourself:

• 🚶 Can I walk or bike to places I enjoy?
• 🌅 Does this location fit the lifestyle I want?
• 🚤 Is it close to the water, parks, or trails I love?
• 🍽️ Are there local restaurants and businesses I'll actually use?
• 🤝 Can I see myself becoming part of this community?

The happiest homeowners often fall in love with the community first and the house second.

Good Morning from The Indian River Lagoon in Florida

Good morning from the dock along the Indian River Lagoon in Sebastian, Florida. Here’s your WEEKEND waterfront weather, fishing, and wildlife report for Friday July 17, 2026.

We got a good rain last night, at least up in Melbourne.  I was set to do some volunteer gardening at the yoga garden in Eu Gallie but the lightning ran us off.  It cooled things off a bit and I don't think we are even scheduled to hit 90 today!  You know that the thing about the tropics.  We don't have as big of temperature swings as the temperate zones.  We are consistently warmer but when it gets hot up there it gets hotter than here.  At night it is quite pleasant now.

Warm and still this AM on the dock and part of my report shows how quickly the invasives have returned to the shoreline where I recently cleared them.

🌤 Waterfront Weather Conditions

Time: 11 AM

Air Temperature: 81°F - high of 89

Humidity: 80%

Wind Direction & Speed: SW at 2 MPH - not enough!

Tide Stage: Low at 8 AM and High around 1 PM

Moon Phase: Waxing crescent - rise at 10 AM

Water Conditions: Low, calm, flat and low visibility.  Maybe from all the rain we and even more so, inland have been getting.

Lagoon Living Tip for the Day:

The Best Wildlife Viewing Happens When You Slow Down

Many visitors race from one attraction to the next. Residents know the lagoon rewards patience.

Sit quietly on a dock, shoreline, or observation deck for 15 minutes and you'll often notice:

• 🐬 Dolphins surfacing without warning
• 🦅 Ospreys diving for fish
• 🐟 Mullet schools rippling the surface
• 🐢 A turtle poking its head above the water
• 🦩 Wading birds stalking breakfast along the shallows

The lagoon has its own rhythm. Sometimes the best experience comes from doing less, not more.

🎣 Fishing Activity & Wildlife Sightings

The schools of minnows are everywhere between the dock and the shore line.  I cant tell if they are glass minnows or greenies.  I can't seem to get them with my cast net so maybe they are still glass minnows.

🌊 Indian River Lagoon Spotlight

Brevard Zoo Restore Our Shores

Most people know the Brevard Zoo for its animals, but one of its most meaningful conservation efforts happens out in the Indian River Lagoon. Restore Our Shores is a volunteer-driven habitat restoration program that builds oyster reefs, plants mangroves, and restores shorelines throughout the lagoon. These projects improve water quality, reduce erosion, and create habitat for fish, crabs, birds, and countless other species.

Volunteers work alongside scientists and conservation staff to:

• 🦪 Build oyster reefs that naturally filter lagoon water
• 🌿 Plant mangroves to stabilize shorelines
• 🌊 Restore living shorelines instead of relying solely on seawalls
• 🎓 Educate residents about lagoon ecology
• 🤝 Engage thousands of community volunteers each year

One mature oyster can filter dozens of gallons of water each day, so every restored reef becomes a small but powerful water treatment system created by nature. Programs like Restore Our Shores demonstrate that restoring the lagoon is something the entire community can participate in.

🏡 Lagoon Real Estate Suggestion of The Day

Flood Zones Don't Tell the Whole Story

When shopping for a home on Florida's Treasure Coast, don't stop at asking, "Is it in a flood zone?"

Also ask:

• Has the home ever experienced flooding?
• How high is the finished floor elevation?
• Have there been insurance claims?
• Are there swales or retention ponds nearby?
• Has the seller made drainage improvements?

Two homes on the same street can have very different histories. Understanding both the flood maps and the property's real-world experience helps you make a smarter decision.

Today I continue my tour of parks in Sebastian, FL and Indian River county.  Today I hit up the Main St Boat ramp.  The ramp is in fact at the end of Main St. on the lagoon.  There is a large parking area with overflow down where Sebastian Blvd hits Indian River Dr too.  There are men's and women's bathrooms before heading out on the water.  The ramp is always busy but I never see much back up.

Today I continue with my tour of local parks.  Today is the Yacht Club in downtown Sebastian.  Yes, our yacht club is a public facility.  There is a nice clubhouse, a public boat launch, a few parking spaces and a covered picnic table out back that over looks the lagoon and a public fishing pier.
