Just after passing the Seaquarium (and just before the bridge to Key Biscayne), turn left on the road that leads to the water treatment plant and the parking area for Virginia Key beach. (Unless you have made prior arrangements, you will have to pay the entrance fee to the park). Continue until the fork in the road, then turn right into the parking area. What there is to see Aspects of beach dynamics and erosion. Backround Like Miami Beach and Key Biscayne, Virginia Key is a sedimentary barrier island. Virginia Key and Key Biscayne are parts of the barrier island system which stretches along most of the coast of southeastern Florida. About 20,000 years ago, a glacial period ended and the climate began to warm. During the glacial period, sea level had been as much as 100m. (300 ft.) below present sea level. As the climate warmed, sea level started to rise to its present level. It is from this period that the barrier islands of Miami Beach, Virginia Key, and Key Biscayne began to be formed. Sediments were carried by longshore currents, and consisted of a mixture of carbonate (shell fragments, coral fragments, etc.) and quartz sand.

    Nature-Based Coastal Defenses Published by in Southeast Florida INTRODUCTION Miami Beach skyline ©Ines Hegedus-Garcia, 2013 ssessments of the world’s metropolitan areas with the most to lose from hurricanes and sea level rise place Asoutheast Florida at the very top of their lists. Much infrastructure and many homes, businesses and natural areas from Key West to the Palm Beaches are already at or near sea level and vulnerable to flooding and erosion from waves and storm surges. The region had 5.6 million residents in 2010–a population greater than that of 30 states–and for many of these people, coastal flooding and erosion are not only anticipated risks of tomorrow’s hurricanes, but a regular consequence of today’s highest tides. Hurricane Sandy approaching the northeast coast of the United States. ©NASA Billions of dollars in property value may be swept away in one storm or slowly eroded by creeping sea level rise. This double threat, coupled with a clearly accelerating rate of sea level rise and predictions of stronger hurricanes and continued population growth in the years ahead, has led to increasing demand for action and willingness on the parts of the public and private sectors to be a part of solutions. Practical people and the government institutions that serve them want to know what those solutions are and what they will cost. Traditional “grey infrastructure” such as seawalls and breakwaters is already common in the region but it is not the only option. Grey infrastructure will always have a place here and in some instances it is the only sensible choice, but it has significant drawbacks.

  • "Watch the Port of Miami" : Tequesta : Number
    7 "Watch the Port of Miami" by Arthur Chapman The history of the Port of Miami is filled with fascinating twists, moves and controversy. From finger piers in the Miami River to the world's premier passenger cruise port, the port has mirrored the development of Miami. Constantly facing the difficulties of shallow water and the need for dredging, the modern port of today reflects on its beginnings in a plan for further expansion and development. Lo- cated in the midst of beautiful, but very shallow Biscayne Bay, no pioneer could possibly have envisioned what the future held. In an 1842 letter concerning the joint land and sea operations during the Seminole Indian Wars, Lt. John T. McLaughlin wrote of the problems encountered while attempting to cross Biscayne Bay: Fort Dallas, [located on the north bank of the Miami River] which has been under the occupancy of the land forces since the early stages of the war, cannot be approached within eight miles by the vessels of this squadron...our operations [had to be carried out] in canoes...' The Navy, which had responsibility for the movement of materials and personnel, had to row supplies to the fort on the Miami River from a base on Key Biscayne. 2 For many years, the shallow bay relegated Miami to a relatively unimportant role in the development of Florida's maritime trade. South Arthur Chapman (also known by his middle name, Ed), is the fourth generation of a pioneering Florida family. He holds a doctorate degree in history from the University of Miami and an MBA from FloridaInternational University.
