Florida's Indian River Lagoon shows signs of recovery after decades of environmental decline. Scientists are restoring critical habitats like reefs, shellfish beds, seagrass, and wetlands. Efforts focus on reintroducing clams, which were nearly extinct due to overharvesting and algal blooms. Millions of juvenile and adult "super clams" have been released into the lagoon. Local governments are addressing runoff issues to support the lagoon's ongoing restoration.

A new restoration project is underway along the Indian River Lagoon, with the City of Edgewater and Riverside Conservancy working to rebuild habitat, improve water quality, and strengthen the shoreline at Veteran’s Park. The first phase of the project includes the installation of 60 engineered oyster modules designed to provide a stable surface for oysters to attach and grow, eventually creating a living reef.
