Rickenbacker Marina redevelopment
Description
The winning bidder's marina proposal — now headed to a voter referendum — includes plans to dredge to 8-9 feet and add slips for yachts over 80 feet, which environmental advocates say threatens the aquatic preserve.
Impact summary
Dredging and mega-yacht traffic could impact the Biscayne Bay aquatic preserve and critical wildlife area; the board adopted dredging-depth and vessel-size limits in response.
