My project was a 3 part project that helped clear out Microplastics in the Biscayne Bay Area and raise awareness about the issue of microplastics as a whole. It consisted of a first weekend to build our own sieves to use at the project, followed by a big cleanup day, where volunteers kayaked to Clarington Island and spent 7 hours clearing microplastics using the sieves, and cleaning up normal trash as well. The last part of the project is an awareness campaign consisting of making keychains out of resin and the collected microplastics, and distributing them along with microplastic pamphlets to make the issue of microplastics known.

My projected consisted of building two bird boxes for Eastern Sreech Owls, an owl type native to South Florida. The bird boxes were placed on the Tropical Audubon Society's property, the Doc Thomas House. The primary purpose of bird boxes is to provide protection for owls. Owls will be able to seek shelter in the bird boxes when it is raining, during windy conditions, or in any other heavy weather conditions. The secondary purpose of the bird boxes is to provide a safe area for the owls to raise their offspring. The bird boxes are helpful to the Tropical Audubon Society as they aid them in protecting native species of birds in South Florida.
