Miami Environmental Science Action Network

The Miami Environmental Science Network (MESAN) was created at FIU by the Institute of the Environment and the Department of Journalism + Media. It was made possible by a Miami-Dade Environmental Education grant, which supports an accelerated education initiative to inform Miami-Dade residents and businesses about our fragile environment and promote stewardship to help them safeguard their environment and quality of life.

MESAN emphasizes working directly with communities, linking top scientists, educators, communication researchers, students and municipal leaders to find and implement solutions-oriented opportunities. Our trainings integrate environmental science and technology into experiential fun activities that provide the tools and skills needed to adapt and persevere through the challenges of climate change in our region.
