Florida Vacation Homes (863) 532-9096 1545 US Hwy 1 Sebastian, FL 32958 Niki@Remingtonrealestate.Com Welcome to paradise... We saved you a seat. The Sebastian River Area is located on the central east coast of Florida, along the Treasure Coast. It is situated in the northern most part of Indian River County and is about 15 miles north of Vero Beach and 20 miles south of Melbourne. It includes Sebastian (23,000), Fellsmere (5,200), Grant, Barefoot Bay, Micco, Orchid, Roseland and Wabasso. The estimated population for those living in the Sebastian River Area is approximate 45,000. The area is well known for the rare antiquities that have washed upon its shores. The shipwreck from the 1715 Spanish Plate Fleet left many treasures along Sebastian’s coast. Treasure hunters continue to search the waters for gold, jewelry, and other artifacts lost in history. Sebastian Inlet State Park is the premier saltwater fishing spot on Florida’s east coast; the park is a favorite for anglers nationwide for catching snook, redfish, bluefish, and Spanish mackerel from jetties. Surfing is also a popular recreation and several major competitions are held here every year. The Indian River Lagoon National Scenic Byway, one of two nationally designated byways in Florida, runs through the Sebastian River Area. The Indian River Lagoon, which is North America’s most biologically diverse estuary, the St. Sebastian River, Blue Cypress Lake, and the Stick Marsh are fishing hotspots and a boater’s paradise. Sebastian is home to Pelican Island, America’s first National Wildlife Refuge and hosts one of the most spectacular skydiving views in the world. A walk along Sebastian’s riverfront takes you past old fish houses whose salty aromas recall times past, dockside restaurants where a view of the famous pelican is guaranteed and marinas harboring pleasure and fishing boats of all sizes. You will find several piers for fishing, a children’s playground and in your walk don’t miss the bronze statue of Paul Kroegel, the first warden of Pelican Island, smoking his pipe as he surveys the tranquil waters and islands of the Indian River Lagoon. Visitors can enjoy boating, air boat rides, fishing, kayaking, museums, natural wildlife - birds, dolphin, alligators, manatees, turtles and much more. With unique galleries, shops and its environmental educational centers, the Sebastian River Area is a great getaway for those seeking relaxation while learning to appreciate Florida’s natural wonderlands.

  • SEBASTIAN RIVER SALINITY REGIME Report of a Study
    Special Publication SJ94-SP1 SEBASTIAN RIVER SALINITY REGIME Report of a Study Part I. Review of Goals, Policies, and Objectives Part II: Segmentation Parts III and IV: Recommended Targets (Contract 92W-177) Submitted to the: St. Johns River Water Management District by the: Mote Marine Laboratory 1600 Thompson Parkway Sarasota, Florida 34236 Ernest D. Estevez, Ph.D. and Michael J. Marshall, Ph.D. Principal Investigators EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This is the third and final report of a project concerning desirable salinity conditions in the Sebastian River and adjacent Indian River Lagoon. A perception exists among resource managers that the present salinity regime of the Sebastian River system is undesirable. The St. Johns River Water Management District desires to learn the nature of an "environmentally desirable and acceptable salinity regime" for the Sebastian River and adjacent waters of the Indian River Lagoon. The District can then calculate discharges needed to produce the desired salinity regime, or conclude that optimal discharges are beyond its control. The values of studying salinity and making it a management priority in estuaries are four-fold. First, salinity has intrinsic significance as an important regulatory factor. Second, changes in the salinity regime of an estuary tend to be relatively easy to handle from a computational and practical point of view. Third, eliminating salinity as a problem clears the way for studies of, and corrective actions for, more insidious factors. Fourth, the strong covariance of salinity and other factors that tend to be management problems in estuaries makes salinity a useful tool in their analysis. Freshwater inflow and salinity are integral aspects of estuaries.
