Miami’s turquoise waters hide a dark secret: Your AC’s coolant is poisoning Biscayne Bay’s coral reefs. In 2025, Miami-Dade County banned R-22 and R-410A refrigerants under new EPA laws, with fines up to
$37,500 per violation. A Coral Gables marina learned this the hard way when a leaking AC unit wiped out 2 acres of staghorn coral.
