We had a great time connecting with families at Key Biscayne K-8 Community Night! 🌿

We’re excited to continue growing our partnership with Key Biscayne K-8 by bringing nature-based programming to students and working toward establishing a pollinator corridor on campus. 🦋🌼

Want to help support these efforts? Consider donating to the Key Biscayne K-8 PTSA through the link in our bio.

🐬 Wildlife Wednesday Feature 🐬

Meet the bottlenose dolphin!

Bottlenose dolphins are highly social and intelligent marine mammals found in coastal waters throughout Florida. They communicate using clicks, whistles, and body movements—and each dolphin develops its own unique signature whistle, almost like a name!

As important members of our coastal ecosystems, dolphins are a reminder of why protecting clean, healthy oceans matters for all the wildlife that calls them home. 🌊

If you’re lucky enough to spot dolphins in the wild, enjoy them from a respectful distance and let them stay wild. 💙

Meet the Caribbean Vase Shell!

The Caribbean vase shell is a striking marine snail found throughout the tropical western Atlantic, including the waters around South Florida. Its thick, spiny shell helps protect it from predators, while the snail inside is an active hunter that feeds on other marine invertebrates.

These beautiful shells are an important part of our coastal ecosystems, reminding us that every creature—big or small—has a role to play in keeping Biscayne Bay healthy.

🌊 If you find one, admire it where it is. A living shell is someone’s home!
