SUBJECT: CITY OF MIAMI BEACH UNVEILS DOGGIE LIFEGUARD STAND PHOTO OP IN SOUTH
POINTE BARK PARK
The purpose of this letter to commission is to announce that the Office of Marketing & Communications ,
in partnership with the Departments of Environment and Sustainability and Parks and Recreation have
unveiled a temporary, mini lifeguard stand photo op at South Pointe Bark Park, where people can snap
a photo of their furry friends with an important message.
This installation is part of the city's larger water quality campaign "We Heart Biscayne Bay," which aims
to bring awareness on the various ways residents and vis itors can help keep Biscayne Bay clean.
Improper disposal of pet waste ends up in our water systems and the "Don 't be Ruff on the Bay" sub-
campaign is intended to highlight this issue.
Along with the lifeguard stand installation , the administration also wrapped over 75 individual pet waste
bag dispensers, to ensure that all pet owners are educated on the importance of responsible pet
ownership and waste disposal to help keep out water systems clean .
Images of both installations can be seen below:
