SEATTLE - Miami Beach authorities are cracking down on people living on boats by eliminating another access point for those who anchor their sailboats in Sunset Harbour. In December, the city removed a dock in Biscayne Bay that people used to get food and water on shore. A city commissioner said that the goal was to "limit the amount of access of the people who live on these boats that come to the mainland."
The latest escalation has turned into a battle between residents. In 2016, state law prohibited anchoring in certain areas of Miami Beach, but boaters were and still are allowed to anchor in Sunset Harbour.
