Mangroves in need of “foster parents”
In the coming months, Brevard Zoo, in partnership with Florida Department of Environmental Protection Indian River Lagoon Aquatic Preserves and Marine Discovery Center, will host several Adopt-A-Mangrove workshops to engage locals in conservation of the Indian River Lagoon.
Participants will receive tips to care for their “baby” mangrove, which will be taken home and eventually replanted along the Lagoon. The group will also be treated to a behind-the-scenes tour of the Zoo’s 19,000-gallon aquarium, which houses many mangrove-dependent fish.
The workshops, which are free to the public, will be held at the Zoo on March 22, April 27, May 26 and June 27 from 6-7 p.m. An additional workshop will take place at Marine Discovery Center in New Smyrna Beach on March 12. Registration and more information is available at www.brevardzoo.org/restore-mangroves.
