Today is Give Miami Day!

The Barnacle Society has taken on a gargantuan project to help Keep The Barnacle Afloat, an Erosion Mitigation and Landscape Masterplan which comes with a $175,000 price tag. We are asking for your support during Give Miami Day to ensure that the park’s shoreline, trails, native vegetation, and open green spaces remain resilient and beautiful for generations. With your help we can preserve the natural character, ecological health, and quiet magic that make The Barnacle one of Miami’s most cherished waterfront sanctuaries.

Please take a few minutes to Keep The Barnacle Afloat! givemiamiday.org/story/thebarnacle
