Miami Beach Youth Commission
Since the start of the school year in August, the Miami Beach Youth Commission has been hard at work addressing the needs of Miami Beach youth. Youth Commission members have dedicated their time to learning about government processes and identifying ways to make an impact on their community.
One major issue the Youth Commission identified is the growing concern around mental health. In response, the Commission successfully advocated for a resolution to install positive mental-health affirmation signage at the under-construction Bayshore Park. Adjacent to Miami Beach Senior High and surrounded by local businesses, the park is expected to attract significant foot traffic. The Commission recognized it as an ideal location to spread positive affirmations and motivational messages.
Beyond local efforts, the Youth Commission also participated in the Florida League of Cities’ Youth Council Program, where they engaged with youth representatives from across the state. As part of this experience, members traveled to Florida’s capital to meet directly with state legislators, discussing key issues affecting youth in Miami Beach and sharing their perspectives on the importance of civic engagement. These meetings offered a unique and empowering opportunity for Youth Commissioners to represent their city at the state level and learn firsthand about the legislative process. With the mentioned initiatives, the Miami Beach Youth Commission continues to demonstrate how Miami Beach youth can create effective change.

Sargassum
In the coming months, you may notice a heavier influx of sargassum (seaweed) along our shoreline. The city continues to coordinate with Miami-Dade County Parks to safely remove excess seaweed from our beaches.

Prior to operating heavy machinery, a team surveys for sea turtle nests and hatchlings each morning. Once the survey is complete, beach operations crews proceed to clean the beach until sunset, regardless of tidal conditions.

Sea Turtle Season
Sea turtle season in Miami Beach began on April 1 and runs through October 31.
Our beach is a crucial nesting habitat for sea turtles. As sea turtle hatchlings make their way from sand to sea, the stark contrast between the darker dunes and the reflection of the moon over the ocean helps them determine where to go.
Artificial lighting near beaches presents a significant hazard by confusing sea turtles and leading them to mistakenly crawl toward the artificial lights instead of heading to the ocean. Turn off the lights to help keep sea turtles safe!
Do not disturb or touch nesting sea turtles or hatchlings. Report any disturbances or lost turtles to MyFWC Florida Fish and Wildlife at 1.888.404.3922, to Miami-Dade County Government at 305.310.3046 or to Miami Beach PD at 305.673.7900. Let's protect our beach ecosystem together! Learn more.
