MB Magazine Fall 2026 Issue

The fall issue of MB magazine is here!

The Miami Beach dune system encompasses 7.1 miles of idyllic green space that separates the built world from the natural wonders of our beach paradise. This living coastal tapestry was shaped over decades of powerful winds, crashing surf and a paint brush that only time can wield as you’ll discover in MB’s cover story: “Protecting the Dunes” on page 8 with cover art by Miami Beach artist Massimo Mongiardo.

Did you know that severe blood loss claims the lives of more than 10,000 Americans each year? That’s why the Miami Beach Fire Department’s emergency medical services division is expected to become the first such agency in Miami-Dade County to offer lifesaving mobile blood transfusions to patients as you’ll learn in “Mobile Blood Transfusions May Double Odds of Survival for Miami Beach Trauma Victims” on page 24.

Finally, this issue of MB brings you a sneak peek at some of the 120 upcoming performances and family-friendly activations the city plans to bring to life through partnerships with more than two dozen cultural presenters. You’ll want to start planning your social calendar after turning to page 44.

Due to budget constraints, MB is transitioning from a quarterly publication to twice per year in 2027. Those issues will arrive in homes during the first week of April and the first week of October 2027. As always, we will continue to focus on content that highlights the types of great programs and initiatives that Miami Beach residents have valued over the past 21 years.

Read the digital version of the issue.

Every Drop Counts: Save the Tap!

Do one thing each day that will save water. Here are some small practices that can save thousands of gallons each year:

• Only run your dishwasher and washing machine when they are full.
• Check indoor and outdoor faucets and pipes for leaks regularly.
• Soak your pots and pans instead of letting the water run while scrubbing.
• Turn off the water while brushing your teeth.

Visit www.miamibeachfl.gov/water-conservation to learn more.

Do Not Feed Community Cats

The City of Miami Beach community cat population is actively managed through the city’s Cat Program and is cared for by designated registered cat feeders who follow established feeding and colony-management protocols while abiding by all city ordinances.

If you are not a registered feeder with the city, please do not feed the cats. Unregistered feeding can interfere with the TNVR (Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return) Program which provides medical intervention and adoption placement. To ensure successful trapping, our registered cat feeders are notified in advance and asked to temporarily withhold food as part of the coordinated trapping process. When cats are fed prior to scheduled trapping, they are less likely to enter the traps, which can delay urgently needed medical care, sterilization and placement opportunities.

Our goal is to ensure that our city remains beautiful and welcoming for our residents and visitors, while continuing to provide responsible and humane care for the cats who live here.

If you or anyone you know are interested in volunteering or becoming a registered feeder, visit https://linktr.ee/sobecatsvolunteer and fill out an application.

Keeping landscaping debris out of storm drains and waterways can help reduce flooding and improve water quality. Leaves, grass clippings and other vegetative matter can clog storm drains and cause excess nutrients to runoff into waterways, harming water quality and marine life in Biscayne Bay.

Under the Water Quality Ordinance, lawn clippings and other yard waste are considered pollutants when they enter our waterways. Don’t blow or rake leaves and other debris into the street where they can end up in storm drains or nearby waterways.

For more information, visit MBRisingAbove.com or contact sustainability@miamibeachfl.gov

Report any blocked or damaged storm drains to our 24/7 Control Room by calling 305.673.7625.

Do Not Drive Through Floodwaters

King tides and heavy rain can cause flooding on some streets and low-lying areas throughout the city. Please avoid driving through floodwaters both for your safety and to prevent vehicle damage.

If you must drive, don’t speed — waves worsen flooding effects in neighborhoods.

FPL Storm Safety Tips

Hurricane season is here and staying prepared helps keep you and your family safe. Florida Power & Light (FPL) works year‑round to strengthen the grid and train crews so they’re ready to respond when severe weather arrives – and we encourage our community to take a few simple steps to stay storm‑ready too:

• Create and share an emergency plan with your household
• Stock up on essentials like batteries, flashlights, a radio, non‑perishable food, water and medications
• Have a qualified professional trim trees near your home before storm season
• Bookmark FPL.com/Storm, download the FPL Mobile App and save 1.800.4.OUTAGE (1.800.468.8243) in your phone
•  If you ever see a downed power line, keep a safe distance and call 911 and 1.800.4.OUTAGE



A little preparation makes a big difference. Stay informed, stay ready and stay safe. For more helpful storm resources, visit FPL.com/storm.

Fight the Bite

Take precautions against mosquito-borne illness by applying bug spray, avoiding areas with high mosquito populations and wearing long pants and long-sleeve shirts when possible – especially during sunrise and sunset when mosquitoes are most active.

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.

Fertilizer Ban

Biscayne Bay provides recreational, cultural and economic well-being for our entire community. To help keep the bay healthy, the City of Miami Beach has prohibited the use of fertilizer application from May 15 through November 1. Show our bay some love and help keep it fertilizer free.

Visit www.MBRisingAbove.com/fertilizers for more information on fertilizer application outside of the restricted period.

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 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!

Pick Up After Your Pet

Pet waste can take a huge toll on the environment if it is not cleaned up properly. It is a contributing pollutant that affects our water quality. Support the efforts of Operation Clean Water by picking up after your dog. Forgot your pet waste bag? No problem! Pet waste stations are located throughout the city. Learn more.

Don't Be Trashy

#DontBeTrashy! Litter can clog stormwater drains and worsen flooding, harming water quality and marine life. To help, dispose of trash properly and use marked recycling receptacles.

Let's all do our part to keep our beautiful Miami Beach community clean.

Fair Housing Spotlight

Did you know that there are federal, state and local county level fair housing law protections? There are 7 federally protected classes under fair housing law – race, color, national origin, disability status, familial status (there are children or/and pregnant individual(s) in the house), religion and sex. The state of Florida does not include any additional protected classes, but Miami Dade County does. They are as follows: status as a victim of domestic violence, gender expression, sexual orientation, source of income, age, ancestry and marital status. This means fair housing law in Miami Dade County includes the 7 federally protected classes plus the 7 County level protected classes, for a total of 14 protected classes here locally.

If you have questions about fair housing or if you even slightly suspect that your fair housing rights are being violated based on one or more of these protected classes, please immediately call Housing Opportunities Project for Excellence (HOPE), Inc. at 305.651.4673.
