Manatees dying Seagrass gone The Indian River Lagoon is in trouble

What you are looking at, readers, is trouble. Big trouble for the vast, complex and magically diverse system known as the Indian River Lagoon. Because this is not an isolated scene. As reported last week by The News-Journal’s Abigail Brashear, 46,000 acres of seagrass have disappeared throughout the lagoon system. That’s 58 percent of the seagrass that was in the lagoon in 2009. And manatees are dying. Dying, with nothing in their stomachs, because there is nothing for them to eat. In December, January and February, more than 400 manatees died. By comparison, 405 died in all of 2015. The seagrass dies and the manatees die, along with the crabs, the fish, the shrimp that die or are never born. The birds that would have eaten them. The ripples of death spread ever outward. At some point, it will be the lagoon itself that dies.

In 2020, coronavirus impacted everything in Volusia-Flagler

Pat Rice, Editor The coronavirus pandemic started in China, quickly spread across the globe, and by March we knew that 2020 would be a year like no other. COVID-19 impacted how we look. (Who thought the most ubiquitous clothing accessory of 2020 would be masks to cover our noses and mouths?) It impacted how we greet each other, and how we say goodbye. (Would you like to fist bump or elbow bump?) It financially impacted restaurants and retail stores and hotels and hair salons as people stopped traveling, dining out, and turned increasing to online shopping.  It impacted communication. Like many businesses, The News-Journal newsroom has been working remotely for months. Interaction between reporters and editors has been almost entirely via Zoom calls, cell phones, emails and texts.
