Biscayne National Park is known locally as a fantastic place for recreation. The park protects and preserves a nationally significant marine ecosystem with mangrove shorelines, a shallow bay, undeveloped islands, and living coral reefs.The park is 95% water. It has protected these unique resources since 1968.
Cultural resources at Biscayne National Park represent well over 2,000 years of history, and some sites may be as much as 10,000 years old. These resources are rich with archaeological remains, at what has been a crossroads of maritime trade and exploration since the days of the earliest inhabitants of this area.
