Miami Beach bans boat launch use for small watercraft, affecting over 100 residents and possibly triggering legal action.

Miami Beach has enacted new policies affecting over 100 residents living on boats in Biscayne Bay, prohibiting the use of city-owned boat launches for dinghies and paddleboards under threat of a $1,000 fine. This change complicates their access to land for daily activities, especially for vulnerable individuals. The affected boaters, organized as the Miami Beach Boaters Association, are considering legal action, arguing the regulations infringe on their civil rights.
