South Florida’s Biscayne Bay, its keys, the coral reef and the national park that protects them are celebrated in a new book, Biscayne National Park (Acadia Press), co-authored with James Kushlan, which features Hines’s historic images that together tell 300 years of Biscayne Bay’s story. The book’s publication kicks off the golden fiftieth-year anniversary celebrations of the establishment of Biscayne National Park, which stretches from Key Biscayne to Key Largo and from the mainland shore to the coral reef tract.
