Miami Waterkeeper

Miami Waterkeeper is an environmental organization based in South Florida, dedicated to protecting the region's waters through advocacy, education, and community engagement. Their mission focuses on ensuring that South Florida's waters are clean, safe, and resilient, promoting solutions that are scientifically grounded and community-driven. The organization concentrates on three main areas: clean water, ecosystem protection, and addressing sea level rise. They work to improve water quality in the Biscayne Bay watershed, protect vital ecosystems like coral reefs and mangroves, and advocate for policies that enhance resilience against climate change. Miami Waterkeeper employs a multidisciplinary approach, combining science, policy advocacy, and education to secure protections for waterways and engage the community in environmental stewardship through initiatives like the "1000 Eyes on the Water" program, which encourages volunteer monitoring of local waterways.
