Whoa! Even 16 years after his death, Dante Fascell is still receiving mail! Well, he WAS a very important figure in Biscayne National Park’s #history. In the 1960s, the islands of Biscayne Bay were targeted for development. Local environmental #pioneers fought for federal protection for the area. Dante Fascell was a longtime member of House of Representatives who lead the push for protection. On October 18, 1968, Dante was present as Lyndon B. Johnson signed the paperwork that formally created Biscayne National Monument as shown in the second picture. Photos by #NPS (ESE)
