Indian River Lagoon Sunset

Indian River Lagoon National Estuary spans 181 miles across Florida's East Coast, from Volusia's Halifax River southward to Jupiter Inlet in Palm Beach. The Indian River Lagoon estuary ranges through six Florida counties: Volusia, Brevard, Indian River, St. Lucie, Martin, and Palm Beach.

The Indian River Lagoon watershed includes four brackish water lagoons, five freshwater rivers, five ocean inlets, three National Wildlife Refuges and a National Seashore.

Indian River Lagoon National Estuary is known as "the most bio-diverse habitat in North America" due to the ecosystem's temperate location, varied habitat, and 4,000 plant and animal species.
