BBAP and Miami-Dade County Team Up for Cocoplum

On April 1, Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve staff teamed up with Miami-Dade County’s Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM) to remove and dispose of over one-half ton of marine debris from the State-owned Cocoplum Mangrove Preserve. This effort was a continuation of a two-year DERM project to maintain and enhance the preserve by removing massive accumulations of marine debris, eradicating invasive exotic vegetation and installing native coastal plants.
