Later is too late when it comes to addressing water pollution. 

Picture Miami: a sparkling jewel nestled between the vast Atlantic and the vibrant Everglades. But beneath this picture-perfect surface lies a city that is ground zero for sea level rise and climate change. We're not just surrounded by water; it's beneath our feet, seeping through our porous limestone foundation. As sea levels rise, so do the challenges we face.

On the front lines against these daunting challenges, you can find Miami Waterkeeper, a small but mighty team of fearless advocates for clean water. We occupy a void that would otherwise be filled by pollution, floodwaters, and environmental destruction.

Miami Waterkeeper works toward a resilient South Florida that is a global leader in clean water solutions, where thriving communities and nature coexist. We protect South Florida’s waters by advocating for resilient solutions grounded in science, rooted in nature, and driven by community.

As our reputation has grown, we've become the trusted source of environmental information and powerful action. Employing our multidisciplinary strategy – science, advocacy, and education and outreach – we've secured significant protections for our waterways, finding local solutions to the global problem of climate change. By standing up for clean water, we are making Miami a shining example of resiliency for the world -- water win by water win.

Mission

Miami Waterkeeper's mission is to protect South Florida's waters by advocating for resilient solutions grounded in science, rooted in nature, and driven by community. We envision a resilient South Florida that is a global leader in clean water solutions, where thriving communities and nature coexist.

This means a Biscayne Bay and surrounding watershed that is clear of both visible and invisible pollution and that is home to thriving ecosystems that support vibrant marine life and protect our coastlines and community from the impacts of sea level rise and climate change. To achieve this goal, we employ a multidisciplinary approach -- using science, advocacy, and outreach -- to learn more about the Bay and what affects it, advocate for sustainable policies, and connect the public to the water.

Our work ensures progress toward this goal by galvanizing the community to protect our Bay and watershed through education and outreach, leading to increased awareness and actions on issues impacting our water.
