Moir advocates responsible lawn care to save dolphins
Drop that spreader! Dolphins are dying at an alarming rate in Florida's Indian River Lagoon, and nitrogen pollution, caused by over-fertilization, has been identified as a contributing cause. To combat this problem, Dr. Rob Moir, Executive Director of the Ocean River Institute, has launched a campaign to educate the public on effective dolphin-saving practices and his efforts have caused quite a splash! Dr. Moir is currently petitioning for fertilizer regulation ordinances that will reduce nitrogen loading into the estuary. With over 65,000 signatures from local residents, Florida vacationers and environmentally conscious stewards across the globe, Dr. Moir demonstrates that the public supports his plea!
