Biscayne National Park is unique in that 95% of the park is underwater. Aside from the small, mangrove-forested islands, known as keys, most of the park is made up of seagrass beds and vast coral reefs. Biscayne contains the third largest coral reef in the world, and is home to more than 500 varieties of fish.
