On April 17, Surfrider Miami partnered with Miami Dade College (MDC) for an afternoon focused on education, community, and hands-on ocean advocacy at Crandon Park.
Organized by one of our dedicated volunteers, Caroline, the event brought together a group of 20 to 30 participants eager to learn more about protecting our coast. Throughout the afternoon, attendees engaged in live demonstrations covering water quality testing and plastic-free practices, gaining a deeper understanding of how everyday actions impact our ocean, waves, and beaches.
Participants had the opportunity to see how Surfrider’s Blue Water Task Force operates, from collecting samples to understanding what goes into testing local water quality. Alongside this, we shared practical guidance on reducing single-use plastics and making more ocean-friendly choices in daily life.
Events like this highlight the power of community-driven education. By creating space for conversation and hands-on learning, we are helping build a more informed and engaged network of ocean advocates across Miami.
Thank you to everyone who joined us at Crandon Park and took part in the experience. Your curiosity and involvement are what drive this work forward. 💙
