The Brevard County Natural Resources Department's Save Our Indian River Lagoon Citizen Oversight Committee (COC), chaired by a county commissioner, is composed of local business leaders and stakeholders. The committee receives consultation and support from the Florida Institute of Technology's Indian River Lagoon Research Institute (IRLRI), the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD), and local IRL advocacy groups. The committee holds monthly public meetings that are live streamed and archived for on-demand viewing.

The COC monitors the SOIRL program to:

• insure transparent implementation and funding of projects,
• modify project plans to reflect neccessary changes
• educate the public on the river's health problems,
