MIAMI (FL), April 01, 2025 / 6:00 AM / The Miami Herald - Pollution and water quality have long been an issue in Biscayne Bay, where stinky fish kills have become a summer norm, and every heavy rain washes a cocktail of oil, fertilizer, and wastewater into Biscayne Bay and its canals. Miami-Dade County has invested millions to fix the problem and to modernize drainage systems, which threatens the tourism economy that relies on the health of the bay. Stormwater “is one of the major sources of pollution, from the land into our waterways” says Miami Waterkeeper’s CEO Rachel Silverstein.
