Miami Seaquarium plan hits a roadblock. Environmentalists fight rushed approval
A plan to redevelop the Miami Seaquarium may be in jeopardy after the project failed to win approval from a key Miami-Dade committee on Tuesday. Developer David Martin faces a year-end deadline by a federal bankruptcy court to get county approval of a proposed 99-year lease for the waterfront property outside of Miami that’s home to the shuttered theme park. Miami-Dade owns the land, and Mayor Daniella Levine Cava needs County Commission approval of the lease allowing Martin to build a marina that’s drawn opposition from environmental groups. That lease was a last-minute addition to Tuesday’s meeting of the commission’s Recreation, Tourism and Resiliency Committee, but the four-member panel was deadlocked on whether to forward the proposal to the full commission. “Why are we getting this at the eleventh hour?” Commissioner Marleine Bastien asked about the 249-page lease added to the committee’s agenda Monday evening. “That doesn’t make any sense to me.” With Bastien and Commissioner Micky Steinberg pushing back on approval, the committee voted to defer the vote to a future meeting. Commissioner Raquel Regalado, whose district includes the Seaquarium’s Virginia Key site, voted against the deferral. Just before the vote, a Martin lobbyist warned that Miami-Dade risked a

It began in a tiny food hall. Now this Michelin-praised restaurant has a bigger Florida home
The Ecuadorian restaurant that started in a tiny downtown Miami food hall , then earned a designation as a Michelin Bib Gourmand, has opened in a new, larger location. Cotoa, from Ecuadoran-born chef Alejandra Espinoza, is now located in North Miami in Florida not far from the space it moved to from the food hall counter in 2025. The new Cotoa has an even stronger focus on Ecuadorian culture, not only through the cuisine but also the atmosphere, which includes a gorgeous mural by Apitatán , an Ecuadorian artist who came to Miami to create the work. Another of his murals hangs in the chef’s restaurant Somos in Quito, Ecuador. Espinoza, who was trained in France and focuses on sharing her culture with her customers, said Miami’s response to the first restaurant was “incredibly special” and that she hopes to build on that enthusiasm. “The first Cotoa gave us the opportunity to introduce people to Ecuador and show how much depth, history and diversity there is within our cuisine,” she said. “This new space gives us room to tell more of that story and give guests even more ways to experience the food and culture of my country.” A more
