A SOCIOSCIENTIFIC ISSUE FOR THE CLASSROOM: NOT ALL THAT BLOOMS IS PRETTY IN THE INDIAN RIVER LAGOON
Keywords:
environmentalism, strategy, ethicsAbstract
Man-made activities such as human urbanization and agriculture have altered the Indian River Lagoon, as well as, other marine ecosystems in the state of Florida. These impacts have brought environmental, financial, and social repercussions affecting the quality of life of residents and leading to loss of habitat for many native species. Though a long-term remediation plan is in place, some believe this may not be enough to save such a vast ecosystem. This case compares the conflict between human development and natural preservation and raises the question, what should be prioritized.
