Indian River Lagoon Project is an information clearinghouse for the Indian River Lagoon National Estuary.

Indian River Lagoon

From Volusia County's Ponce de Leon Inlet, the 156 mile long Indian River Lagoon National Estuary spans southward across 6 Florida counties, to Palm Beach County's Jupiter Inlet.

Within the Indian River Lagoon's boundaries are 5 Atlantic Ocean Inlets, 5 State Parks, 4 National Wildlife Refuges, a National Seashore, an Intracoastal Waterway, a Navy Submarine Base, a Space Force Base, and a National Space Center.

In 1990, the Indian River Lagoon was chosen as an Estuary of National Significance and assigned to the National Estuary Program (NEP) by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The Indian River Lagoon National Estuary Program (IRLNEP) is currently managed by the IRL Council, a special district of the State of Florida.
