Environmental Crisis Response: Protecting Biscayne Bay
Be our eyes on the water. Report pollution and environmental concerns in Biscayne Bay. We review every report, notify appropriate agencies, and follow up to ensure accountability.
Why Report Pollution?
Your community reports drive environmental action. Pollution can quickly harm Biscayne Bay and the wildlife, communities, and businesses that depend on it. Fish kills, algae blooms, sewage spills, oil sheens, and sediment plumes are often signs of larger environmental problems.
Every report helps us identify emerging issues, document pollution, and determine when additional investigation or agency action is needed.
How Miami Waterkeeper Responds to Environmental Crises
Miami Waterkeeper reviews and responds to every pollution report with a multidisciplinary approach:
- Assess and document the incident
- Notify the appropriate agencies
- Follow up on investigations and agency response
- Inform the public with timely, location-specific updates
- Advocate for immediate fixes and long-term solutions
- Hold polluters accountable when protections are violated
When pollution results in a larger environmental crisis, we also conduct scientific investigations, monitor water quality, and work with partners to identify causes and drive action.
