Dredging Deja Vu - We need your voice TODAY to protect our reefs.
We need your help to stand up for Miami's reefs to protect them from dredging again-- AGAIN! Yes, that's right. We're as shocked as you are.
We recently announced that our efforts secured the restoration of 10,000 threatened corals following the PortMiami dredging -- a huge victory for our reefs.
But, what we didn't know was that the Corps didn't dredge deeply enough the first time around -- and they're coming back for more. That's right, the Port of Miami will be dredged AGAIN.
We can't allow this to happen.
Stand with us and say "Enough!" Join us TODAY for a meeting with the Army Corps and tell them what you think about their plan to dredge on top of our reefs. You will have 2 minutes to speak. Read some of our talking points HERE!
We invite all of those who care about the status of our local reefs to join us at this public scoping meeting for the potential second dredging project at PortMiami. This meeting begins the public process to aid in developing alternatives as well as information needed to evaluate alternatives.
There will be two sessions with the same information in order to encourage more public participation:
*1:30-3:30 PM
*6:00-8:00 PM
Cruise Terminal F on PortMiami ( 1103 North Cruise Boulevard; Miami, Florida 33132) with complimentary parking in Lot G.
Can't be there but want to give your opinion? You can also submit written or additional comments via:
