Ten million corals are in the path of a federal dredging project in Florida

Back

WLRN returned to the Port Everglades story in January 2026 with an even deeper look at what’s at risk. While reefs across Florida have collapsed from disease and rising ocean temperatures, coral populations near the port have persisted — and in some cases grown — over the past decade. Miami Waterkeeper also sent a formal letter to NOAA Fisheries objecting to the Army Corps’ request for authorization to incidentally harm more than 100 dolphins through the project’s 280 planned blast events.
