April Speaker - Heather Stapleton
The current condition of the IRL didn’t change overnight. The problems with the lagoon have been over 70 years in the making. There was a recent defining moment that tipped the Lagoon from a more natural seagrass dominated system to a less natural algae dominated system. When we understand our roles in what ails the lagoon, we can better understand how to bring it back to a healthier balance.
