Samantha Barquin for Miami Waterkeeper

I'm very excited to be a Champion for Miami Waterkeeper this Give Miami Day! Miami Waterkeeper is an environmental organization that protects South Florida's waters by advocating for resilient solutions grounded in science, rooted in nature, and driven by community.

Here's why I'm passionate about supporting Miami Waterkeeper:

• Clean, sparkling waters define Miami's soul. From Biscayne Bay to our beaches, water quality shapes our lifestyle, economy, and the very essence of what makes Miami special.
• Miami Waterkeeper is our trusted local expert for water quality. The team provides real-time information and tireless advocacy to keep our waters clean and our community informed. 
• Miami Waterkeeper is the only non-profit organization in South Florida that is bridging the gap between science and policy, providing decision-makers with the best and latest research as they shape our future. 
• The Miami Waterkeeper team also engages the broader community - both youth and adults - in environmental education and civic action.

The health of Biscayne Bay affects us all - whether you live on the water or more inland. That's why the Miami Waterkeeper team advocates for policies and projects that:

• Promote clean water
• Protect our natural habitats
• Build resilience against sea level rise
