Conservation Note
Barrier islands are sensitive to erosion and sea-level rise—stick to marked paths, avoid dune vegetation, and support local beach cleanups.
Miami Beach’s Art Deco District grew rapidly in the 1920s–40s during a coastal building boom; preservation efforts in the late 20th century saved many original façades.
