Milestone Planting Services Page 3 of 3 Estimated Completion Date 31 July 2009 Marine Resources Council - Who is the MRC *mots 3WO aK The Marine Resources Council is You Page 1 of 2 For over 20 years, the Marine Resources Council (MRC) has focused on major issues involving the Indian River Lagoon including: flow from land drainage and its negative impact on estuarine productivity; loss of seagrasses and mangroves; coordinating local, state, or federal programs for the lagoon; and the need for public education to incorporate science into decision-making. Today, plans for use of the Indian River Lagoon resources are incorporated into the 6 counties' and 33 cities' comprehensive plans, in addition to state management policy. The state legislature now regularly addresses lagoon issues and has dedicated funding to the Lagoon. Also, through the direct efforts of the MRC, the Indian River Lagoon received national recognition in 1990 as a National Estuary of Significance by the EPA. People like you that care about the beauty of our Indian River Lagoon and want to help improve the quality of its ecosystems are the heart of the MRC. We are organized as a Board of Directors and a staff who coordinate community efforts and educate the public about each of our major programs. We are supported by our membership as well as many volunteers and friends not listed here. Leveraging the energy and resources of hundreds of volunteers in cooperation with other agencies is key to our efforts. We are grateful for your ongoing help, support, ideas, and enthusiasm.
