Biscayne National Park protects the larger portion of south Florida's Biscayne Bay, a uniquely tropical lagoon harboring crocodiles, manatees, dolphins, and Caribbean fish.Tropical trees cover its islands, while the fourth-longest coral reef sits offshore. To protect these unique natural and historical resources and to assure its enjoyment by future generations, half a century ago, the federal government created Biscayne National Monument, which later became Biscayne National Park.
