It’s construction sediment. It happens every time we get a heavy rain. Sites that don’t properly secure their property, bleed sediment & debris into stormwater system that flows into bay, smothering what little seagrass there is left. The penalties & fines are not severe enough.
Not sure whats going on here at Maurice Ferré Park near the PAMM. Is this some kind of discharge or runoff? Whatever it is, it sure ain't natural and can't be good for Biscayne Bay’s ecosystem. @Damianpardo8 @LOUISAGUIRRE @lrobertsonmiami @MiamiWaterkpr @peterehrlich1 @tessriski

Thank you for your leadership and dedication to protecting #BiscayneBay 💙
With South Florida's popularity on the rise, the upcoming legislative session I will once again prioritize improving water safety and safeguarding the environment and wildlife. This agenda includes initiatives like mandatory boating licenses, the installation of more signage, bolstering the presence of first responders, and leveraging technology for more effective enforcement. The focus will be on strengthening policies and enforcement against Boating Under the Influence (BUI) while also reviewing and potentially amending the Manatee Protection Act to ensure the protection of these gentle creatures. @FLSenate #LoveWhereYouLive 💙❤️✨ miamiherald.com/news/local/c…

🚨Miami Beach closing monument island to boaters. “This is a case of boaters failing to behave responsibly around one of our natural treasures. The city will have an enforcement presence on the island during the holiday weekend to ensure that boaters respect the closure.”

The Tropical Atlantic has never been this hot before in May. A severe marine heatwave has developed across much of the Tropical Atlantic and Caribbean, with water temperatures up to 5-7°F above normal in some areas. Water temperatures in the Caribbean have already exceeded peak hurricane season levels (mid-September). This will have significant implications for marine life and hurricane season.

Thank you for covering this and for your continued advocacy!
This weekend @CityofMiami activated its brand new #LeaveNoTrace policy to engage boaters to be responsible for the trash they create while enjoying the islands of #BiscayneBay The enormous amount of trash they regularly leave behind is not sustainable. Will this new policy work?

The fossil fuel industry has been lying to the world for decades resulting in the global economy now facing a Covid like multi billion dollar shock every five years. Let that sink in. Climate action now. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Sanders: They’ve been consistently lying? Supran: The oil industry? They have been consistently misleading the public about the realities and implications of their products

A group of young boaters caught in camera dumping two garbage cans full of trash right into the ocean. The video sparking world wide outrage. @MyFWC has identified the owner of the boat and is in the process of identifying everyone on board. Still developing….

It is so perplexing. What is in the water?? Scientists have yet to find a reason. Sure seems given the mass coral deaths last summer/ fall and now this, that the shallow water environment is falling apart. May very well be unrelated, but still points to accelerating problems.
Sawfish deaths rise by 6 in 7 days as first sawfish is rescued in emergency effort. Scientists still have not identified smoking gun that’s causing this. At least 70 different species of fish have been seen spinning & acting erratically. It’s been 6 months.

Greetings from the 🇪🇪 pavilion at #COP28! The question posed by my compatriots was an intriguing one – is the #EUGreenDeal slowing down? The answer is easy –NO! #Energycrisis has not clipped our wings, as proved by #renewables deployment in 2022 & by commitments made at #COP28.
