A Day in the Life of the Indian River Lagoon

Each year hundreds of schools, homeschoolers, environmental partners, and volunteers simultaneously collect scientific data at various sampling sites all along the Indian River Lagoon on a single day in October. Citizen scientists use hands-on field techniques to measure the same chemical, physical, and biological parameters to evaluate how their local piece of the estuary fits into the larger ecosystem. Teachers are encouraged to integrate the data and information into the school curriculum, science fair projects, and research opportunities throughout the school year. The results help students build a better understanding of the local ecosystem's ecological health and the relationship their sites have to the entire watershed. ORCA staff provide in-class lessons to support and enrich the ADIL experience. ORCA's A Day in the Life of the Indian River Lagoon is one of four citizen science projects at the Ocean Research & Conservation Association. A Day in the Life of the Indian River Lagoon 2022 was funded by: Quail Valley Charities, Inc., ScottsMiracle-Gro Foundation and the W.A.I.T.T. (We Are In This Together) Fund at the Community Foundation Martin - St Lucie. Learn more about ORCA's Citizen Science Program at www.teamorca.org
