The Miami River has transformed dramatically over the decades, from a clear waterway frequented by wildlife to a gritty urban environment lined with marinas and condos.
Initially a wild habitat shared by the Tequestas and local fauna, the river faced significant changes through dredging and development driven by projects like the Miami Canal.
Throughout the 20th century, environmental degradation increased, highlighted by the installation of sewage outlets and the occurrence of corruption scandals linked to drug smuggling operations.
Current conditions reflect a blend of historical significance and modern urbanization, revealing a mix of recreational, residential, and commercial developments along the once pristine river.
