Model and ecologist Hunter Reno taught Shake-A-Leg campers (and Mayor Manny Diaz, front left, and others) about dragon flies and native butterflies during their trip to Eco-Island, as part of the Eco Island Adventure Camp, a summer program that teaches children ages 7 thorugh 17 about South Florida unique acquatic ecosystems and how to protect them.
Eco-Island, a successful environmental restoration project of the once trash-strewn Dinner Key Spoil Islands, is a partnership between Shake-A-Leg Miami, Royal Caribbean’s Ocean Fund, the Miami-Dade Department of Environmental Resources Management, and the Army Corps of Engineers. Shake-A-Leg Miami is a community-based aquatic activities center serving able bodied individuals as well as those with physical, developmental, and economic challenges.
