The aquatic preserve

Biscayne Bay is a state aquatic preserve. Building, replacing or moving a seawall there needs Board of Trustees approval, given only with rip-rap (Florida Statute 258.397).

Repair deadlines

If the City of Miami cites a Grove wall, the owner has 180 days to hire a contractor and apply, and 24 months to finish (Sec. 29-95).

Why it matters

Permits

DERM’s Class I permit, then the City of Miami Building Department with a sealed NAVD88 survey under a year old.
