Dear friends, Many of you may already know, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava offered me the opportunity to serve as the County's first Chief Bay Officer. It will be an honor to advise our Mayor and the Board of County Commissioners on water policy issues and advance Biscayne Bay's recovery. It is also most fitting to return to Miami-Dade County government, where I began public service over twenty years ago. I stand ready to work hard and collaborate with local, state, and federal partners, stakeholders, the private sector, and the public to help chart a course to save Biscayne Bay, protect our environment, and rebuild our economy. Thank you for supporting Bagué Group over the years, and I look forward to this new chapter in my career. All the best,
A small gift from us to you! Biscayne Bay is a beautiful and vital source of life and water to South Florida. We must continue to work hard to protect and preserve the bay for many generations to come.

Summary of Biscayne Bay Task Force Recommendations
Biscayne Bay is in trouble. Seagrass, the foundation of all life in the Bay, is dying. Scientists have studied Biscayne Bay’s fragile ecosystem and have issued a call to action. We, the 2.8 million people who live and call Miami-Dade home, must answer that call.
Working Together, We Can Help Save Biscayne Bay.
