Baynanza is Miami-Dade’s way of celebrating one of our most precious natural resources, Biscayne Bay, and inviting the community to learn how to protect it while having a great time. The annual Biscayne Bay Cleanup Day is just one of the many environmental activities that make up Baynanza, and this year we are kicking off Baynanza in partnership with Biscayne National Park at the park’s Dante Fascell Visitor Center on March 16th. There are over 30 fun-filled activities that are part of this year’s Baynanza, which runs from March 16th through April 27th. For a complete list of Baynanza 2014 events, please visit us at www.miamidade.gov/environment or call 305-372-6784.
