Good Morning from Sebastian 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 Saturday April 25, 2026.
A beautiful day for some volunteering. I'm off to The Old Fish House in Valkaria this morning to help with the billion clam initiative. It's mostly centered in Brevard right now but I want to bring it to Indian River county. Why clams. A - I love clams and B - they are water cleaning machines and were over fished and decimated in the late 1990s here in the lagoon
Both tanks have native water and sediment. The clam tank after 30 min!

Lagoon Living Tip for the Day:
Secure outdoor items before storms.
Living near the lagoon means sudden storms and strong winds. Loose patio furniture, kayaks, and dock gear can quickly become hazards—or end up in the water.
🎣 Fishing Activity & Wildlife Sightings
All clams and mangroves this AM.
🌊 Indian River Lagoon Spotlight
Featured Organization: Brevard Zoo Restore Our Shores
Restore Our Shores, an initiative by Brevard Zoo, focuses on living shoreline restoration projects throughout the Indian River Lagoon. They build oyster reefs and plant native vegetation to stabilize shorelines, improve water quality, and create habitat for marine life.
Their hands-on projects not only protect the lagoon but also involve the community directly in restoration efforts.
🏡 Sebastian & Vero Beach Real Estate Suggestion of The Day
Check the age and condition of major systems—not just aesthetics.
It’s easy to focus on finishes, but HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems are what really drive long-term costs. A beautiful home with aging systems can quickly become expensive.
Considering Buying or Selling Lagoon Lifestyle Property?
If you’re considering buying or selling a home in Sebastian, Vero Beach, or anywhere along the Treasure Coast, I’m always happy to provide current market insight and personalized guidance.
