Miami Beach is a popular boating destination, and local anchorage near South Beach is in high demand. A mooring field is a managed mooring system attached to the bottom of a waterway that adheres to an approved management plan. The feasibility of establishing a regulated mooring field has been explored to provide boaters with the opportunity to anchor while also protecting Biscayne Bay's seagrass and water quality. Miami Beach currently lacks a regulated mooring field, and this project would provide a new public amenity.
