Miami-Dade County is taking steps to conserve a unique area of land. The goal is to protect this land for the long term. A local airport is currently in operation, but plans are in place for its eventual closure.

Further action is dependent on the closure of a detention facility. After this facility is closed, the land can be transferred to conservation partners. For more information on this conservation effort, readers can refer to the original announcement from Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava.

Details on the plan and its progression are available from the source.
