NYT: Islandia, a Florida City That: "Nothing could slow the movement to conserve the islands, not even an announcement made in 1967 by Albert C. Bostwick Jr., an heir to the Standard Oil Company fortune. His plan to build a splashy marina with cottages, villas and dock spaces on Elliott Key never got off the ground. In 1968, Islandia officials made one final incursion. They brought bulldozers by barge to Elliott Key and ordered workers to cut a 125-foot-wide strip across the island. . . . Several months later, in October 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the bill to turn much of Islandia into a national monument. It later became Biscayne National Park."
