Indian River Lagoon

U.S. Reps. Stephanie Murphy and Brian Mast have introduced legislation aimed at addressing a sky-rocketing number of manatee deaths since the start of the year.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is calling a manatee die-off in the ailing Indian River Lagoon an Unusual Mortality Event.

The development of this treatment system is the work of Florida Tech's Ocean engineering and marine sciences assistant professor Austin Fox and graduate oceanography student Abbey Gering.
