The Miami Waterkeeper's 1000 Eyes on the Water program is a volunteer-based, community-led, water patrol program designed to increase our ability to monitor the Bay and waterways of South Florida. We will train you to identify, document, and report issues so you can help us watch out for our waterways. Become a part of our water patrol team!

Miami Waterkeeper holds the annual State of the Water address which convenes an intimate group of corporate and governmental leaders and scientific experts to discuss the key issues facing our watershed and solutions for the year ahead. Miami Waterkeeper, Rachel Silverstein Ph.D., will present key strategic initiatives for the coming year and share a fact-based overview of the state of the water in South Florida from the lens of business, government, and science. Representing over $12.7 billion of annual economic impact to South Florida, there is no question the waters that surround us, in fact, unites us all.
