When a community member calls our attention to the “killing
our beautiful water ways” we need to stop and pay attention. And this is
exactly what Riverkeeper, Marty Baum, has done and is doing. He will be speaking Monday night on the 21st of January at the
Treasure Coast Unitarian Universalist Church at 21 SE Central Parkway, Stuart, 34994, from 7:00 to 8:30 pm.

From The Riverkeeper:
I need your help, if we are to bring about any meaningful
changes to the quality of water flowing into the Indian River ecosystem. There
is great power in numbers, the more collective voices there are, the greater
the pressure on our political leaders to represent US, to provide the
ordinances and restrictions that will provide clean storm water runoff and stop
the damaging Okeechobee Lake discharges.
Like many ecosystems worldwide, our lagoon is in trouble.
Water management, drainage and land use policies have chipped away at the very
things that protect our waters. We have made many mistakes over the years and
they are now coming back to haunt us by killing our beautiful estuary. Things
are dangerously close to the tipping point and the whole system is on the verge of collapse. The mission of the Indian Riverkeeper is to protect and
restore the waters of North America's most diverse estuary, the Indian River
Lagoon, its tributaries, fisheries and habitats through advocacy, enforcement
and citizen action.What can we do? What can you do? Come listen to the problems
and the solutions.
