Keep Fertilizer at Bay, Not in the Bay.
Beautiful and serene, Biscayne Bay provides recreational, cultural, and economic well-being for our entire community. To help keep the bay healthy and pristine, the City of Miami Beach has prohibited the use of fertilizer application from June 1 through November 1. Show your bay some love. Ditch the fertilizer.
