Miami Waterkeeper Dr. Rachel Silverstein conducted an interactive Zoom class for kids and teens in Surfside about the recent and unprecedented fish kill in Biscayne Bay. As a bayside and beachside community, Surfside depends on a healthy Biscayne Bay, and its youth are uniquely positioned to help create a healthy ecosystem. 

Dr. Silverstein also spoke to Sunny Isles Commissioner Dana Goldman about the conditions in Biscayne Bay and efforts to fix the ongoing pollution.
