On a recent day, Don Deis snorkels through a crystal clear ocean-estuary mix, finding new signs of life among the blades that bud up here like alfalfa sprouts from the sun-glittered sandy bottom....

More than 8 acres of seagrass have grown back at the Sebastian Inlet since 2020. Brevard officials hope to replicate that success.

A bill to reduce algal blooms, and protect Florida’s declining manatee population, is inching forward in the Legislature.

A Senate panel voted unanimously Monday to approve the proposal (SB 832), which would implement the state Blue-Green Algae Task Force’s recommendations on prevention, cleanup and mitigation. The legislation, filed by Orlando Democratic Sen. Linda Stewart, strives to help reduce nutrient pollution that fuels algal blooms.

Officials would have to inspect septic tanks every five years.

Message from our President

January 6, 2022

Today is a milestone for my company, NovelE! It's easy for hours to turn into days, days into weeks, and weeks into years. Time certainly seems to go by in different levels during this endless pandemic. Some days, and today is one of those days, we sit back and look at the time gone by and realize that we have reached a milestone worthy of praise and gratitude. I founded NovelE 7 years ago today. If you are receiving this email, you have been a part of my journey. I have been blessed with the support and mentoring of so many in my professional career. I give thanks to all who took the time in their lives to make mine better.

All of us at NovelE give thanks to our teaming partners, our clients, and our colleagues for helping us be successful! I founded NovelE to provide innovative, high quality environmental engineering and consulting services. NovelE started out with my technical expertise and the design vision of my daughter, Camille. NovelE has grown year over year to offer a full range of engineering, geology and hydrogeology services. Our Team provides a well-rounded, complete suite of environmental consulting services.

The past two years have illustrated NovelE's ability to pivot with our client's needs. We enter into this, our eighth year, ready to meet the challenges of 2022.

May each of you blossom with this New Year!

Updating our water infrastructure to restore the historic freshwater flow through the Everglades is crucial for our future.

Our local economy runs on clean water, and Florida’s economic competitiveness and quality of life depend on completing Everglades restoration. Modernizing the woefully outdated water infrastructure will protect our drinking water supply and benefit the billions of dollars and over 1.5 million jobs tied to the outdoor recreation, tourism, and real estate industries that define Florida’s economy.
