Science

TURNING DATA INTO ACTION
Water quality monitoring, research partnerships, data access and science-based decision making.
Your existing water-quality work is much more sophisticated than the current website communicates. FOBB has worked with FIU on autonomous water-quality sondes and the B-BROIPS data initiative.

Advocacy

Giving Biscayne Bay a voice
Campaigns, public policy, permitting, development proposals, government accountability and community advocacy.
FOBB is not simply a cleanup organization, we are an advocacy organization.

Stewardship
