Waterways Harbor and Marina in Aventura is Dirty with Trash and Deisel Oil Slicks

The Waterways harbor and marina is neglected and very dirty.  The smell of deisel oil permeates the air and this week, when I walked around the marina early in the morning, the smell was overwhelming.

Garbage from the boats is embeded in the rocks and is a geniune health hazard.  It is up to the management of the harbor to be sure that the pump works and pulls out polluted water and pulls in clean water.

This harbor is the centerpiece of the Waterways Development and all the beautiful townhomes and patio homes as well as the luxurious One Island Place and The Point of Aventura overlook what was supposed to be a gorgeous natural waterway leading out to the Intracoastal and the Ocean.

Each development pays a monthly fee toward the maintenance of the Harbor.  Someone has let us down.  I wrote to the Harbor Master on Wednesday and so far, no reponse.

As a realtor as well as a resident, this is important to me.  If you live in this area , it should be important to you, too. 

Contact the Harbor Master and demand that it be cleaned up!!

   You tell them Lee! People simply don’t seem to get it! They’re too busy with their everyday lives to go outside their homes and look at what attracted them to this area to begin with!
