Biscayne National Park

Well, which, of course, brings us to the subject of protecting this ecosystem.

Just as important, what does all of this tell us we need to be doing more of to protect these shark and ray nurseries, as I think the study refers to them, especially in terms of public policy and the management of Biscayne National Park that you mentioned in your report? Fewer yacht slips, for example, right?

Right.

So as we develop and continue to develop around the bay and the slips like you mentioned, the three marinas that are now in the process of being planned and approved, think about where the boat traffic is.

All right, Palmetto Bay a little further south could be banning data centers for good.

We border Biscayne National Park, one of the most treasured areas in all of South Florida.

And we all know the impacts that data centers can have to our natural resources.

So keeping them out of Palm Meadow Bay is just critically important for our environment and also more importantly, our quality of life here in our village.

maybe we should start with our least favorites

okay yeah so I'll go first I think maybe one of the parks that shouldn't be a park um is Biscayne which is in Florida um they created it as a national park from my understanding to protect the coral reefs that were there and it did not work and now all the coral reefs are dead and so there's not really much there it's just water and like a dead

reef

whoa that's so bizarre

And it was something that, like, by the time they actually got the land and protected it, it was, like, kind of too late.

Like, the oil drilling and everything in that area had already taken a lot of the land.

And so they both were, like, good ideas, Biscayne and Indiana Dunes.

But now it's just kind of, like, a sad story of, like, what happens when we don't protect.
