Sustainability

 

—  SUSTAINABILITY  —

Rickenbacker Marina is proud to call the heart of Biscayne Bay our home. Being surrounded by such a stunning and vital ecosystem reminds us daily of the responsibility we have to protect and preserve our waterways and environment. Our commitment to sustainability drives us to take meaningful steps to ensure that future generations can continue to enjoy the beauty of Biscayne Bay.

 
 
 
 

CLEANUPS & EVENTS

 

One of the ways we uphold this commitment is through our partnerships with impactful nonprofits like VolunteerCleanup.org. Together, we work to combat marine debris, hosting cleanup events and inspiring our boating community to take an active role in maintaining the bay’s health. These collaborations allow us to lead by example, fostering a sense of stewardship among our community.

 
 
 
 

RECYCLING PROGRAMS

We’re also proud to be the first marina in Miami to offer a true recycling program for our boaters. Through innovative partnerships with Compost for Life and Glass for Life, we’ve introduced solutions for responsibly disposing of organic waste and glass materials. These programs reduce landfill contributions and help close the loop on waste, creating a more sustainable future for our marina and beyond.

 
 
 
 

Sustainability has been at the core of Rickenbacker Marina since its beginnings.

Since the 1980s, the Melwani family has planted mangroves along our shores, understanding their vital role in the health of Biscayne Bay.

 
 
 

Mangroves act as natural water filters, trapping sediment and pollutants while providing critical habitat for marine life. They also protect against erosion and serve as carbon sinks, reducing the impact of climate change.

For us, sustainability isn’t just a trend—it’s a legacy. From partnerships with nonprofits to forward-thinking recycling programs and decades of mangrove planting, Rickenbacker Marina remains dedicated to protecting our environment, supporting our community, and preserving the natural treasures of Biscayne Bay.
