This is Indian River right now. Water levels everywhere are very high.

They had to open a dam in Mio on the AuSable and it is flooding downriver from there. There are roads covered in water in Oscoda County. They are currently working on raising bridges in Cheboygan to avoid damage from debris once the dam breaks. They have NOT yet called for an evacuation which seems odd.

Green macroalga #Caulerpa has replaced #seagrass in #Florida's #IndianRiver Lagoon https://phys.org/news/2023-12-green-macroalga-caulerpa-seagrass-florida.html

The green macroalga Caulerpa prolifera replaces seagrass in a nitrogen enriched, phosphorus limited, urbanized estuary https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1470160X23011779

Rachel Brewton, Ph.D.: "Loss of #seagrasses in urbanized #estuaries is common, as they are highly susceptible to watershed nutrient and sediment inputs, making seagrasses effective biological sentinels"

The Sun rises over #piers on the Indian #River.
The so-called “Indian River” is actually part of a large, #brackish #lagoon system in connection with the Atlantic #ocean, shielded by the barrier island.
This natural protection helped inspire the #Intracoastal #Waterway, a path for ships that allows them to move across the US coast without entering the deep ocean and the associated dangers.
