Fertilizer Ordinance
Beautiful and serene, Biscayne Bay Provides recreational, cultural and economic well-being for our entire community.

We ❤ Biscayne Bay
Biscayne Bay is one of the most valuable natural resources in South Florida. It is an important estuary that provides critical habitat and other ecological, environmental and economic benefits to the region. Biscayne Bay also welcomes several species of sea turtles, including the Atlantic Green Turtle, the Atlantic Hawksbill, the Leatherback, the Atlantic Ridley and the Loggerhead
The seagrass beds throughout Biscayne Bay also support important fisheries such as shrimp, lobster and fish. The seagrass also helps to stabilize sediments in the bay and attenuate wave energy from hurricanes and other storms. In addition to providing critical habitat, the bay’s waters support the regional economy, recreation and tourism.
Show your love for Biscayne Bay by taking the pledge to protect it. When signing the pledge, you will have the opportunity to receive a welcome packet with more resources on protecting Biscayne Bay.

Heat Season
May marks the start of heat season in Miami-Dade County, and if you have ever noticed that it was hotter in a heavily developed area compared to a mostly natural, nearby area, then you have experienced the “heat island effect.” The heat island effect mostly occurs in cities, where the built environment absorbs sunlight and radiates heat back into the environment. In 2019, the City of Miami Beach passed the Urban Heat Island Ordinance which requires new construction to install a sustainable roofing system, reducing the impact of the heat island effect.
The heat island effect can have an impact on public health due to extreme heat. Extreme heat can cause heat stroke, heat exhaustion, and heat cramps, among other health impacts.
Click here to learn how to protect yourself from the heat.

Composting
Protect the bay by composting in five easy steps:
- Add your "browns" and "greens" in thin layers of 3 - 6 inches, lightly wetting each layer as you add it.
- Sprinkle some garden soil or topsoil between layers to stimulate the composting organisms.
- Use a pitchfork to turn the compost pile once per week.
- A happy composting pile will gradually shrink, brown and start to emit an "earthy" odor.
- After two to three months, you should have a pile of cool, crumbly, earthy material that's ready for work.

Sea Turtle Season
Multiple city departments are collaborating to help protect our favorite marine friends. Sea Turtle season runs from April 1 through Oct. 31.
The community is encouraged to reduce the impacts on sea turtles by switching to sea turtle-friendly lighting, closing blinds or curtains at night, and keeping a distance from sea turtles and their nests.
Click here to learn more about how you can watch out for the little one.

Sargassum (Seaweed)
Have you noticed additional brown seaweed along our beaches recently? This is referred to as sargassum.
This seaweed, which is abundant this time of year in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, is not dangerous, but can cause skin irritation from the tiny sea creatures that live in it. While this is a natural occurrence, the city is working with the county to do everything possible to minimize the inconvenience to our residents and visitors.
The highest concentrations of sargassum are found in Miami Beach between March and October. Please note, to protect nesting and hatchling sea turtles our team takes extra precautions prior to any heavy equipment being operated on the beach since sea turtle season runs concurrently with the influx of sargassum.

Gas-Powered Leaf Blower Ban
The Miami Beach City Commission voted unanimously on Thursday, Jan. 20 to phase out gasoline-powered leaf blowers as part of the city’s commitment to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
Similar to the city’s regulation on polystyrene and plastic straws/stirrers, the new ordinance will follow a phased implementation approach. This includes a nine-month educational period from Feb. 1 – Oct. 31, 2022 followed by a nine-month warning period from Nov. 1 to Jul. 1, 2023. Full enforcement will commence on Aug. 1, 2023.

Seawalls
Of the 55 miles of seawalls in Miami Beach, only four miles are publicly owned. Private properties play a crucial role in the city's seawall program. Properties that experience tidal flooding or are proposing new construction and major renovations are required to upgrade their seawalls to be built at an elevation of 5.7 feet NAVD.

Drain and Cover
To prevent the bite and spread of disease by mosquitoes, remember to drain and cover.
- Flush water from water-bearing plants so they don't become a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Disposing of excess water at least once a week disrupts the mosquitoes' life cycle, preventing mosquito egg deposits and killing existing larvae in the process.
- Survey your garden and backyard, checking landscaping for current and future locations of standing water. Mosquitoes need as little as a bottle cap of water to reproduce, so every little bit counts.
- Eliminate all sources of standing water by emptying potential water-holding yard items, including pots, buckets and wheelbarrows weekly. Make sure to drain items more frequently following rainfall.
