Miami, tune in to Ch 10 news on Wednesday at 8pm for this special presentation on saving Biscayne Bay! Share w/ friends & family, repost on social, let Louis educate & inspire them w/ his passionate reporting! 💙💚🌎💚💙💦🤙
.
#Repost @louisaguirre I’ve spent the past three weeks reporting and documenting the unprecedented events that have devastated Biscayne Bay, from the massive fish kill to the subsequent algae bloom and the serious underlying problems that still exist. This was not unexpected. Scientists and environmentalists have been sounding the alarm for years, warning that if corrective action was not immediately taken the health of this important body of water would be severely compromised. Many fear that we have indeed breached the tipping point in the northern section of the bay where 95% of the seagrass is gone due in most part from the corrosive effects of land based pollution that to this day continues to flow into our bay. All hope is not lost however. We can save Biscayne Bay if we act urgently and act now. This @local10news special presentation airing Wednesday on Channel 10 at 8pm will explain how it is we got to this point and what it will take to fix it. Our whole quality of life in Miami depends on the health, restoration and resilience of Biscayne Bay. It’s our economy, it’s our lifestyle, it’s our health, it is our Miami. I encourage you all to watch and tell your family and friends. Because we are all part of the solution. This charge does not land solely on our municipal, county, state and federal legislators or in the hands of our brilliant scientific community and public work agencies but on ALL of us. All of us most stand resolved and commit to being a part of “Saving Biscayne Bay.” This Wednesday 8pm Channel 10.

Miami friends, 🙏🙏🙏 come out to march on Saturday to Save Biscayne Bay! Our Bay is over the tipping point from pollution & climate change 🥵 and on a downward decline. Our regional economy, tourism & real estate, will collapse without good water quality! My 🐬🐬🐬 friends will be rolling deep to support this cause 🤙
Please join us and amplify the human voice! #SaveBiscayneBay

Our beautiful Biscayne Bay is in crisis. For years scientists have warned us that we are dumping so much land based pollution into the bay that we were killing the seagrass. Now the seagrass in the northern bay is almost gone. And seagrass beds are starting to disappear now south of Coral Gables. This is catastrophic. Once the seagrass dies, the algae moves in. The algae will not support sea life as we know it and we will lose all the fish, and manatees, sharks and dolphins that make days on Biscayne Bay so magical. There is so much at stake, our lifestyle, our economy, our health. Come raise your voice. Be heard. #savebiscaynebay

Solar aerators to help Miami's Biscayne Bay.
Thank you everyone 🙏 for coming along together and supporting our wildlife and natural resources.
Actual examples are the best educational acts. Let's lead by example.

Miami's Biscayne Bay is suffering from an oxygen shortage due to high water temperatures (🌎 Global warming), storm runoff, algae bloom, fertilizers etc. This has resulted in the death of thousands of sealife in the bay and increasing the bacteria that consume the vital oxygen required in the water.
We want to encourage you to consider supporting our effort to help reoxygenate the bay.
We are doing a fundraiser to purchase additional solar aerators and install them to create 🐟🐙🐡🐠#myoxygendepot.
If you would like to donate please contact me (DM) for details. I will appreciate your help.
We want you to create your #myoxygendepot and use the hashtag to increase the awareness that little actions can lead to big changes.
"The power of one, is the power to do something. Anything".

Miami Waterkeeper is currently working with Fertile Earth Worm Farm and the City of Miami Government to coordinate composting of decaying fish from this week's fish kill in Biscayne Bay.

When dropping off fish for composting:
Empty the contents of your trash bag into the designated compost bin
Dispose of your trash bag in a nearby trash can
Compost bins are for fish and organic debris ONLY

The Farm handles organic matter ONLY and having plastic garbage bags in the compost bins will cause complications when processing.

Compost drop off locations:
Morningside Park, 750 NE 55th Terrace, Miami, FL 33137, bins located by the boat ramp.
Albert Pallot Park, NE 6th Ave, Miami, 33137, bins located by the water.
Margaret Pace Park, 1745 N Bayshore Dr, Miami, 33132, bins located along the sidewalk.
As you clean up, please note that we do not recommend swimming in the water at this time.

Please contact hello@miamiwaterkeeper.org for any questions or concerns. Thank you for your help, the Bay needs all eyes on deck.

And, please spread the word - we need as many hands on deck as possible to help with this cleanup effort.

Vida marina muriendo en la bahía 💔 (english in comments, please read) ⁣
⁣
En este lugar donde medito a diario, donde veo los amaneceres y salidas de la luna, donde me conecto con el agua y me sorprendo cada vez con su magia. ⁣
⁣
Esta hermosa bahía #biscaynebay desde hace casi una semana presenta un fenómeno llamado #fishkill y me urge que la gente sepa que está pasando 💔⁣
⁣
La vida marina está muriendo rápidamente debido a la falta de oxígeno disuelto en el agua. ⁣
Porqué pasa esto? ⁣
⁣
Aun en estudios para saber con exactitud, pero básicamente debido al crecimiento de un alga dañina y la alta temperatura de las aguas hacen que los niveles de Oxígeno en el agua disminuya rápidamente. ⁣
⁣
Que alimenta a esta alga dañina? Pues nuestros desechos ☠️. Aguas negras residuales, fertilizantes, desechos sépticos y de mascotas y más.. Sí, al final somos responsables de este fenómeno, que viene advirtiéndose desde hace años 💔 .⁣
⁣
Cómo podemos ayudar?⁣
Hay organizaciones como @miamiwaterkeeper que están haciendo un trabajo gigante para revertir esto y educar a la comunidad. Entonces puedes ayudar siendo voluntario o donando recursos para que ellos puedan seguir los estudios y buscar soluciones. ⁣
⁣
Si esto tocó tu corazón de alguna manera porfa te pido que compartas esta info y ayudes como puedas.. mientras más personas lo sepan, más ayuda podemos conseguir. ⁣

Porque no todo es claridad, arcoíris y unicornios..⁣
También hay oscuridad, truenos y turbulencias 🌪⁣
⁣
Puedes hundirte en ella, crear caos, victimizarte esperando que algo externo te “salve”.⁣
O mas bien puedes sentirla tal y como viene. Hacer una limpieza, bailar en la turbulencia, usar tus herramientas para aprender las lecciones y 🅴🆅🅾︎🅻🆄🅲🅸🅾︎🅽🅰︎🆁.⁣
⁣
𝘽𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙖 𝙗𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙖 que la lluvia es pasajera 💃🏼 🤍⁣
⁣
⁣
Because not everything is clarity, rainbows and unicorns... ⁣
There is also darkness, thunder and turbulence. ⁣
⁣
You can sink into it, create chaos, victimize yourself by waiting for something external to "save" you. ⁣
Or rather you can feel it as it comes. ⁣
Cleanse, dance in the turbulence, use your tools to learn the lessons and 🅴🆅🅾︎🅻🆅🅴. ⁣
⁣
𝘿𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚, 𝙙𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 that the rain will pass.⁣
⁣
Beautiful song from @_giselle.world_ “lluvia“ 🤍
