The study is one of five master plan elements which have been prepared as part of a comprehensive transportation master plan. The element is part of the joint federal, state, and county sponsored Miami Urban Area Transportation Study. The master plan examines goals for seaport and waterway development to 1985 and concludes that: (1) Miami has the potential of becoming the foremost cruise passenger port in the (nation: (2) Port and waterway activity must remain compatible with an unpolluted resort environment and a tourist economy; and (3) Port of Miami cargo activity should complement, not duplicate that at Port Everglades (Broward County). Alternative port sites are considered, including the possibility of an industrial bulk cargo port in the southern portion of the county. The master plan recommends rehabilitation of the Miami River as an urban waterway through bulkheading, revised land uses on its banks, and a general clean-up effort. Because of uncertainty over the effect upon Biscayne Bay of a bulk cargo port development, dredging and channel construction, the master plan suggests a comprehensive hydrological - biological ecological study of the bay, with a working hydraulic model.
