This Waterworld Named Biscayne National Park

WITHIN sight of downtown Miami, yet worlds away, there is a place that can be considered a living testimony of 10,000 years of human history -- from pirates and shipwrecks to pineapple farmers and presidents. That place is known as Biscayne National Park, which protects and preserves a nationally significant marine ecosystem with mangrove shorelines, a shallow bay, undeveloped islands, and living coral reefs.
