Banana River is the smallest of four brackish water lagoons in the Indian River Lagoon National Estuary. The 31-mile-long, 30,000 acre bar-built lagoon is bounded by Kennedy Space Center to the north, Merritt Island to the west, a barrier island to the east and Indian River to the south.

Northern Banana River is an important spring habitat (300-500 individuals/survey day) for the West Indian manatee and resident manatees live in the lagoon year-round.

Darjees Revolutionary Profile:

In 1763, Spain traded Florida to Great Britain in exchange for control of Havana, Cuba, which the British had captured during the Seven Years' War. Florida was home to about 3,000 Spaniards at the time, and nearly all quickly left. Britain occupied Florida but did not send many settlers to the area. Dr. Andrew Turnbull's failed colony at New Smyrna, however, resulted in hundreds of Menorcans, Greeks, and Italians settling in St. Augustine in 1777. During the American Revolution, East and West Florida were Loyalist colonies. Spain regained control of Florida in 1783 by the Peace of Paris which ended the Revolutionary War.
