Miami’s Unique Geography Bridges Everglades and Biscayne National Parks

Miami, Florida, occupies a distinct geographical position, nestled between the expansive subtropical wetlands of Everglades National Park to its west and the primarily marine environment of Biscayne National Park to its east. This unique setting influences the city’s character, cultural landscape, and artistic endeavors.

The proximity to these two vastly different national parks provides a dual natural backdrop for the city. Everglades National Park, a significant subtropical wetland, and Biscayne National Park, a predominantly underwater marine park, contribute to shaping Miami’s identity and creative output. However, this location also underscores the city’s susceptibility to environmental challenges, notably sea-level rise.
