Those lovable sea turtles are back for another nesting season in Miami Beach as you’ll discover in MB’s cover story, “It’s Turtle Time” on page 24. We take you on an in-depth journey into the lives at these beloved sea creatures and bring you the latest scientific thinking of how adult females manage to find their way back to the same beach where they were born — sometimes decades later — to lay their own eggs. Our article also discusses how climate change may be affecting the reproduction cycles of sea turtles. Did you know that Miami Beach is the only municipality in Miami-Dade County that employs its own prosecutorial staff? They handle the types of criminal cases that the court system often refers to as quality-of-life cases. While such offenses do not involve serious injury, significant property damage or financial loss, they are important to residents and businesses. MB shadowed our prosecutors to bring you “Making the Case” on page 36.
