Our mission is to have citizen and professional scientists monitor and protect resources and to share information on the most critical natural resources of Key Biscayne and Virginia Key. Established by the Key Biscayne Community Foundation, the Citizen Scientist Project seeks to have Key residents work with professional scientists to achieve four goals: 1) Learn about the natural resources of Key Biscayne and Virginia Key; 2) Experience the natural resources of the Key through participation in field trips; 3) Participate in citizen scientist projects, which are directed at protecting the natural resources of the Island; and 4) Suggest projects for the Citizen Scientist Project.
