Waterways & Byways of the Indian River Lagoon
The goals of Waterways & Byways of the Indian River Lagoon are to enable sportsmen to accurately identify the IRL’s predominant regulated fishes and other wildlife and to promote professional boating /angling protocols and ethics. Foremost, this treatment highlights informative overviews, personal insights and tools, such as the fish, bird, mammal and plant identification sections and stunning overflight photographs. These will enable naturalists to increase their knowledge of the interconnected ecosystems of the IRL, as well as to encourage boating activities to be spread farther and wider afield. This field guide to the hidden backcountry and intricate byways of the IRL is intended to motivate interested boaters, anglers and naturalists to become consummate students and advocates of the incredible biota and diverse array of habitats of this remarkable resource.
