About the Project
The South Miami-Dade Watershed Study and Plan is being undertaken to help meet the natural system requirements of a healthy Biscayne Bay and Miami-Dade County, while addressing essential quality of life characteristics, such as economic development, community character and infrastructure needs. This 26-month study will culminate in a plan, a set of recommendations to the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners, and will guide land use planning in South Miami-Dade County for the next fifty years. (more...)

"The South Miami-Dade Watershed area is composed of vibrant communities with strong identities established on foundations that are economically, socially and environmentally sustainable, which honor private property rights. It supports economically viable and diverse agriculture; ensures a healthy and sustainable south Biscayne Bay and Biscayne and Everglades National Parks; and promotes open space and tourism and recreational facilities based on its natural wonders while welcoming other compatible enterprises. Sustainable urban development preserves historic quality and rural character with a strong sense of local community and stewardship."
