When healthy, Biscayne Bay's coastal and marine ecosystems such as seagrass meadows, mangrove forests, and saltwater marshlands absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide and mitigate the threat of climate change.
A healthy Biscayne Bay is also vital for local tourism and many commercial and recreational fisheries.
That's two stone crabs I am holding (only harvest one claw per crab!).
