In 2020, Miami sank 73 concrete sections from the SW 1st Street Bridge to create an artificial reef; the pieces now provide habitat 8 feet above the seabed

In an innovative environmental move, Miami-Dade County has submerged sections of a demolished bridge to form artificial reefs. This effort is designed to foster diverse marine life, including fish, sponges, and corals. While studies indicate that concrete is superior for building these reefs, they still fall short of the biodiversity found in natural settings. This undertaking could inspire similar projects in coastal cities nationwide.
