With 60 miles of waterways in Miami Beach, including the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay, it’s a never-ending challenge to keep our greatest natural resource looking picturesque.
MB's cover story: “Keeping Waterways Pristine” on page 30 gives you an in-depth look at what Miami Beach is doing to achieve and maintain the highest water quality possible, including the city's thrice-weekly trash barge service. We speak with some of the city’s top experts on water quality as well as an international expert from the University of Miami who is conducting a study of one waterway that has been at the center of an environmental mystery for four years.
As greater emphasis is placed on quality-of-life issues, the duties of the Miami Beach Code Compliance Department have been expanded over the years as you’ll learn in “Enforcing the Code” on page 12. MB accompanies officers on patrol and brings you the story of an unusual birthday cake they encountered at a multimillion-dollar bayfront home.
