History
Biscayne Bay and downtown Miami grew rapidly after the arrival of Henry Flagler’s railroad and 20th‑century real estate booms, shaping the city’s coastal patterns and Millionaire’s Row waterfront estates.
Conservation
Biscayne Bay faces pressures from development and water quality issues; opt for reef‑friendly sunscreen, avoid single‑use plastics, and respect wildlife viewing distances to support local conservation efforts.
