Miami Developer Proposes New Marina in Miami-Dade County
What happened
David Martin, CEO of Terra, is planning a multi-use area in Miami-Dade County that includes marina space at the old Miami Seaquarium site. The proposed marina would feature close to 90 slips designed for yachts larger than 80 feet. This proposal comes as facilities like the MegaDock in South Carolina are providing alternative dockage options for yacht captains.

Why it matters
The project aims to add much-needed dockage for hundreds of boats in the region. David Martin states the development would generate additional revenues and quality jobs for Miami-Dade County. However, the plan has drawn questions from environmentalists and regulators concerned about preserving local fishing grounds.
