"Your Shores" is a transformative initiative by the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science, aimed at empowering underserved high school students through coastal conservation. The program fosters equity and inclusion in STEM by minimizing financial and practical barriers related to marine research and coastal science. Participants get the opportunity to earn stipends, certifications, attend college readiness seminars, and engage in hands-on restoration and community science activities. The program covers a broad range of topics and activities, with a particular focus on coastal habitat restoration in northern Miami-Dade County. Students will engage in activities such as coral reef restoration, mangrove assessment, beach cleanup, and more. Additionally, participants will receive hands-on training and experience in restoration fieldwork and earn a scuba diving certification. Delivered in-person, the program includes a collaboration with Miami-Dade County Public Schools students in grades 9-12. These students are mentored by individuals enrolled in Frost Science’s Upward Bound Math and Science (UBMS) program. The program runs every Saturday throughout the school year, focusing on researching and restoring the living shorelines of Haulover Park, a barrier island adjacent to North Miami. For participation, students must meet certain prerequisites. The minimum age requirement is 16, and participants must be Frost Science Upward Bound Math and Science students. Non-UBMS students can also participate if they are willing to join UBMS. Additionally, students must be willing to obtain a scuba diving certification, meet the swim requirements, and have no medical contraindications. The program runs from late September to late May. Upon completion of the program, participants will have gained invaluable hands-on experience in restoration fieldwork, a scuba diving certification, and an understanding of coastal ecosystems. They will also be better prepared for ACT/SAT exams, college, and beyond. This hands-on experience contributes to the social and economic resilience of the community and the future of conservation in South Florida.
