- To
reduce the amount of litter in County’s
beaches, waterways, islands and Biscayne Bay;
- To
increase the County’s residential
and business recycling rates;
- To
preserve and restore our sensitive ecosystems,
such as the nearshore coral reefs, beach
dunes, islands, mangroves, and Biscayne
Bay waters;
- To
encourage community members to adopt new
lifestyle practices that are more environmentally
sustainable.
In order to address these and other environmental
challenges the community faces each year,
ECOMB strives to promote better interactions
amongst residents, visitors, businesses
and government agencies. ECOMB believes
that, by educating and encouraging stakeholders
to get involved and to act responsibly towards
their environment, together we
will improve our quality of life,
save resources for our local government,
live more sustainably and, thus, preserve
our environment for generations to come.
By
working closely and in partnership with
both local and national nonprofits, corporations,
local volunteer groups, schools and government
agencies, ECOMB organizes various beaches, islands
and canals cleanups, environmental educational
seminars and eco-awareness events
each year.
