Have you heard of Surfrider Foundation Miami? If you have ever checked The Swim Guide before heading to the beach, then you already know one of their valuable contributions to our community (check out Swim Guide and/or download the app here).
The Surfrider Foundation is a global environmental non-profit dedicated to the protection of our world's oceans and beaches. Through grassroots activism, Surfrider Miami focuses on reducing negative impacts of single-use plastics and seeks solutions to minimize littering of our coastal zones. Their Blue Water Task Force citizen science program provides critical water quality information to protect public health, raise awareness of local water pollution, and help implement solutions.
Recently my daughter visited their lab and tested water samples for harmful bacteria. We saw first-hand the good work that these volunteers are doing to inform and protect our community! If you would like to learn more, join a beach cleanup, volunteer or become a member, please check them out:
