Good Morning from Sebastian Florida

Good morning from the shore along the Indian River Lagoon in Sebastian, Florida. Here’s your daily waterfront weather, fishing, and wildlife report for Wednesday March 25, 2026.

A beautiful morning today and I'm volunteering for ORCA near River front park.  ORCA.  Ocean Research & Conservation Association is a great group based out of Vero Beach and their tagline is Citizen Science.

Check them out at ORCA

We are working on a buffered shoreline project.  We are attempting to reduce the amount of fertilizers and pesticides that wash into the lagoon but planting vegetation between the lagoon and the developed areas it borders.  To read more about buffered shorelines click HERE.

 

To go even further look at this giant squid video that has captured with help from ORCA.  Awesome!

🎣 Fishing Activity & Wildlife Sightings

Today I'm going to report on how much plastic I picked up off the beach and in between the plants and rocks in our buffered shoreline area.  It always amazes me all the plastic that I find in such settings.  A lot of it is so fragile and flimsy that it disintegrates when I try and pick it up but that just creates micro plastics that still aren't gone, I just cant see them.  That's how it winds up in every living creature on the planet and in every drop of water.

 

It's a bit of a bummer but I made 1 spot better and better is better.  That's all I can do is clean more than I dirtied.  If everyone did that we would be in betters shape.  I had many people ask me what I was doing so maybe I inspired others to do their part.

 

🌊 Indian River Lagoon Insight

The lagoon is very delicate.  With an average dept of 4, yes 4, feet there isn't much water in there and it can be easily impacted by human activity.  ORCA is one of many groups doing everything they can to help and I love being a part of it.

To read about the issues and how we are looking to solve them check ORCAs page HERE.

 

🏡 Sebastian & Vero Beach Real Estate Update & Suggestion of The Day

Todays suggestion is to understand "Time is of the Essence".  That means dates matter and there are consequences for not adhering to deadlines.  AKA - when due diligence is over then earnest money is at risk.

The real estate market in Sebastian and Vero Beach remains balanced overall. Inventory levels are steady, and well-positioned homes continue to move quickly when priced appropriately.  There is plenty of inventory and only slight price reductions seen in the market.  Days on market is a more traditional 75 than the hyper markets we have had in the past few years.
