Last Stand Annual Meeting Features Water Quality Expert

Last Stand will hold its Annual Meeting on Tuesday, January 26th, 2021 at 5:30 pm.  The session is open to the public and will be held via Zoom Webinar.  This year’s program features Dr. Rachel Silverstein, Executive Director of Miami Waterkeeper, who will talk about protecting nearshore water quality by keeping excess nutrients out of Keys waters.  She will also explain a model fertilizer ordinance for South Florida.  This topic fits well with Last Stand’s continued focus on water quality for the Florida Keys.

Dr. Rachel Silverstein’s role as a full-time Miami Waterkeeper is part investigator, scientist, educator, legal advocate, and public spokesperson for Miami’s Biscayne Bay. This organization has worked with local governments to ensure swimmable, drinkable, and fishable water for South Florida. Her goal is to protect your right to clean water and empower you to defend your waterways too!

The annual meeting begins at 5:30 pm with a review of the organization’s activities this past year and a look ahead to 2021. Election of board members by the general membership will precede Dr Silverstein’s talk, which will begin about 6:00 pm.  Visit the Last Stand website, www.keyslaststand.org, for a link to the one-hour Zoom Webinar.
