A short swim from the sands of south beach lies an underwater gem teaming with life.
Join the movement to protect our incredible nearshore reef! From South Pointe Jetty northward, this vibrant ecosystem teems with life, including resilient corals that could hold the key to restoring Florida’s damaged reefs. Let’s create a marine protected zone where both marine life and our community can thrive. Help us safeguard this natural treasure for generations to come!
We envision a protected nearshore reef where everyone can safely enjoy the wonders of the ocean. A place where families can snorkel without fear of boat traffic, where fish can thrive undisturbed, and where the beauty of the underwater world is accessible to all.
This is a community driven effort and we can all do our part! Taking one of the main leads on the policy front to help get this reef protected is Urban Paradise Guild! UPG is one of the longest running environmental organizations working on the ground in Miami and is leading the charge on the ocean preservation efforts! To volunteer with them and get involved – hop over to Urbanparadiseguild!
