🌊 Indian River Lagoon Spotlight

Featured Organization: Pelican Island Conservation Society

The Pelican Island Conservation Society supports conservation efforts around the Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge, the first national wildlife refuge in the United States. Their work focuses on protecting habitat, supporting education, and preserving one of the most important ecosystems connected to the Indian River Lagoon.

 

They’re a great example of how local stewardship helps protect wildlife and maintain the natural beauty that draws people to the lagoon.

 

🏡 Sebastian & Vero Real Estate Suggestion of The Day

Understand dock and seawall permitting before you buy.

Not all waterfront properties are equal—some docks or seawalls may be non-compliant or restricted from future repairs. Always verify permits and regulations with local authorities.
