		The delicate balance of life in the Indian River Lagoon is threatened by increasing residential and commercial development, industry, agriculture and human negligence.
		One of the greatest threats to the health of the Indian River Lagoon is stormwater run-off, which flushes sediment, nutrients, heavy metals and bacteria into the water.
		The management goals for the Indian River Lagoon and St. Lucie Estuary are to attain and maintain water and sediment quality to achieve a healthy, macrophyte-based, lagoon system that supports endangered and threatened species, fisheries and recreation (SFWMD and SJRWMD, 1994).

		The recommendation of the IRL report does exceed the cost of the plan described in the original "Yellow Book"plan, but also includes additional features to address CERP-wide goals that were not included in the "Yellow Book." We always anticipated that there would be changes as the team developed the individual projects in more detail.

		An estuary is a partially enclosed body of water formed where freshwater from rivers and streams flows into the ocean, mixing with the salty sea water.
		Although influenced by the tides, estuaries are protected from the full force of ocean waves, winds, and storms by the reefs, barrier islands, or fingers of land, mud, or sand that define an estuary's seaward boundary.
		Many different habitat types are found in and around estuaries, including shallow open waters, freshwater and salt marshes, sandy beaches, mud and sand flats, rocky shores, oyster reefs, mangrove forests, river deltas, tidal pools, sea grass and kelp beds, and wooded swamps.
