$1 Favor- for Little River & Biscayne Canal

Little River Conservancy needs our help. They are taking the lead on a project that I helped design. And they need your $1 vote to help push them forward, and push more funds toward our community and Biscayne Bay. 

Click Here & Donate $1 

This project helps to add sensors to the north basin of Biscayne Bay where the August 2020 Fish Kill occurred. This data will be open source and is set to inform policymaking and research. 

Currently, they have less than 10% of the vote, lets help get them up to where we able to get to 58%

--The deadline for vote is : February 9th @ 5pm PST

--After the vote is counted you can still support the project until the project closes on February, 26th @ 11:59pm PST

The Northern Bay would be a great place to add oysters and our project will reach this area with time, as it was an oyster fishery up till the 1920’s

Thank you all,

Alberto “Tico” Aran, MPH



PS- I know people had questions about the challenge the first time around so here is how it work

The Challenge Grant prize of $10,000 will be distributed to all participating and eligible projects in proportion to the number of backers accumulated by February 9th (at 5pm PST). To further clarify: on February 9th, projects will receive as an extra bonus a share of the $10,000 prize according to the number of project backers compared to the total number of backers in the competition. For example, suppose Project A has 40 backers, and a total of 500 backers chose to donate across all the projects (including Project A). Project A would then receive a share 40/500 of the $10,000 prize = 0.08*10,000 = $800.

About This Project

The hypothesis is native oysters can be reestablished due to new freshwater flows to Biscayne Bay.

Oysters would provide much needed filtration to the waters entering the bay. This would be accomplished by breeding native oysters in a hatchery, then placing these young oysters at select sites. With time mature upstream oysters would send their seed down stream to colonize the most habitable sites. Improving bay resiliency against persistent algal blooms.
