By putting together the cleanup, Leiter fulfilled part of a project she is undertaking in her minor, [one that] enabled her to give back to the environment.

According to assistant professor Sharon Kegeles, Barry University’s facilitator of the sport management-diving industry program, the cleanup illustrated the type of leadership the Miami Shores school tries to instill in its diving students.
“If a person is looking to oversee a group of people in the water, like a divemaster, that person must be able to deal with all aspects of the dive,” Kegeles said. “As a scientific diver, Katie’s going to be overseeing other divers.

One of the other things Leiter wanted to do was expenses for the participants. So she solicited cash donations for the cost of the dive charter from the school of Natural Health Sciences and the athletics department.
