In the 1980s Miami started to see an increase in immigrants from other nations such as Haiti As the Haitian population grew in Miami the area known today as "Little Haiti" emerged centered on Northeast Second Avenue and 54th Street in 1985 Xavier Suarez was elected as Mayor of Miami becoming the first Cuban mayor of a major city in the 1990s the presence of Haitians was acknowledged with Haitian Creole language signs in public places and ballots during voting, Everglades Hall 2002 See also: List of tallest buildings in Miami. Since 1986 the university established its School of Architecture College of Law and College of Medicine (named the Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine in 1999 after Herbert Wertheim donated $20 million to the college which was matched by state funds and is the largest donation in the university's history) and acquired the historic Wolfsonian-FIU Museum in Miami Beach, (29.4) 88.6 Real estate Another celebrated event is the Miami International Film Festival taking place every year for 10 days around the first week of March during which independent international and American films are screened across the city Miami has over a half dozen independent film theaters. 4.2.2 Voter registration Hispanic Business (since 1998) and Hispanic Trends (since 2003) have placed the College of Business among the top 25 business schools for Hispanics in 2008 it was ranked #8. ; Concourse G is the only one of the original 1959 concourses that has largely remained in its original state save for the modifications the rest of the airport received in the mid-1960s and an extension in the early 1970s It is the only concourse at the airport incapable of handling international arrivals the airport authority plans to maintain the concourse until 2025, Tri-Rail Downtown Miami Link (opens Q3 2019), In the North Atlantic surface circulation is dominated by three inter-connected currents: the Gulf Stream which flows north-east from the North American coast at Cape Hatteras; the North Atlantic Current a branch of the Gulf Stream which flows northward from the Grand Banks; and the Subpolar Front an extension of the North Atlantic Current a wide vaguely defined region separating the subtropical gyre from the subpolar gyre This system of currents transport warm water into the North Atlantic without which temperatures in the North Atlantic and Europe would plunge dramatically. A series of biennial reports from the U.S National Research Council have reviewed the progress of CERP the fourth report in the series released in 2012 found that little progress has been made in restoring the core of the remaining Everglades ecosystem; instead most project construction so far has occurred along its periphery the report noted that to reverse ongoing ecosystem declines it will be necessary to expedite restoration projects that target the central Everglades and to improve both the quality and quantity of the water in the ecosystem to better understand the potential implications of the current slow pace of progress the report assessed the current status of ten Everglades ecosystem attributes including phosphorus loads peat depth and populations of snail kites birds of prey that are endangered in South Florida Most attributes received grades ranging from C (degraded) to D (significantly degraded) but the snail kite received a grade of F (near irreversible damage) the report also assessed the future trajectory of each ecosystem attribute under three restoration scenarios: improved water quality improved hydrology and improvements to both water quality and hydrology which helped highlight the urgency of restoration actions to benefit a wide range of ecosystem attributes and demonstrate the cost of inaction Overall the report concluded that substantial near-term progress to address both water quality and hydrology in the central Everglades is needed to reverse ongoing degradation before it is too late! Housing characteristics: as of 2005 the Miami area had a total of 2.3 million housing units 13% of which were vacant Of the total housing units 52% were in single-unit structures 45% were in multi-unit structures and 3% were mobile homes 25% of the housing units were built since 1990 as of 2019 over 70% of Miami's residents are renters with median rent of $1,355 $180 over the national average, Class of 1981 Iceberg A22A in the South Atlantic Ocean, In 1999 an evaluation of the C&SF was submitted to Congress as part of the Water Development Act of 1992 the seven-year report called the "Restudy" cited indicators of harm to the ecosystem: a 50 percent reduction in the original Everglades diminished water storage harmful timing of water releases from canals and pumping stations an 85 to 90 percent decrease in wading bird populations over the past 50 years and the decline of output from commercial fisheries Bodies of water including Lake Okeechobee the Caloosahatchee River St Lucie estuary Lake Worth Lagoon Biscayne Bay Florida Bay and the Everglades reflected drastic water level changes hypersalinity and dramatic changes in marine and freshwater ecosystems the Restudy noted the overall decline in water quality over the past 50 years was due to loss of wetlands that act as filters for polluted water it predicted that without intervention the entire South Florida ecosystem would deteriorate Water shortages would become common and some cities would have annual water restrictions. Ryder Business Building 1992 The main campus is located on the south side of the Tamiami Trail (U.S Route 41/SW 8th Street) between SW 107th and SW 117th Avenue next to Florida's Turnpike and near the western terminus of the Dolphin Expressway.
