Mission Statement
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. Founded in 2010, we envision a resilient South Florida that is a global leader in clean water solutions, where thriving communities and nature coexist. Our scope of work is diverse, with core issues including clean water, ecosystem protection, and sea-level rise readiness, and our jurisdiction is vast - overseeing a watershed that serves more than 4.5 million people across Miami-Dade and Broward counties and encompassing the Florida Reef Tract. Our work is effective because we employ a multi-dimensional, interdisciplinary, science-based approach to protecting our marine ecosystem. Our successes include achieving enhanced protections for coral reefs threatened by public works construction projects, addressing sewage pollution, and increasing consideration of sea-level rise and climate change by municipalities in planning for infrastructure projects.
