About the SOIRL:
The Save Our Indian River Lagoon (SOIRL) Program outlines Brevard County water quality projects that improve the health, productivity, aesthetic appeal, and economic value of the Banana River and Indian River lagoons. Funding for the IRL improvement projects is raised through a November 8, 2016 referendum that established the SOIRL Program and Trust Fund.
The SOIRL Citizen Oversight Committee (COC) reviews and updates the SOIRL plan, recommends restoration projects, and audits each project's finances.
It is estimated that the plan will bring in up to $484 million in revenue over 10 years to fund projects that will reduce or remove about 1.3 million pounds of excess nitrogen and 106 thousand pounds of phosphorus annually from the Indian River Lagoon.
