What's Going on at MORAES?

IMG_6322.jpg

As a non-profit organization with our hands in a broad array of different environmental fields, we try and align our focus with partners and research opportunities that share our passions and goals. With so many incredible organizations here in Miami and all of South Florida, the opportunities to involve ourselves, but more importantly allow others to involve themselves, has been truly inspiring.

EDB Project Overview

The Evolution of Darwin Beach

Ever-growing and expanding, the invasive and exotic vegetation currently inhabiting Darwin Beach – such as Beach naupaka (Scaevola taccada), Latherleaf (Colubrina asiatica), and Australian Pine (Casuarina equisetifolia) – have not only prohibited the native species such as Seagrape (Coccoloba uvifera) and Green Buttonwood (Conocarpus erectus) from surviving, but have completely disrupted the beach ecosystem.

MORAES is a Miami-based 501(c)3 non-profit organization working to inspire future marine and environmental scientists in South Florida.
