Although Miami does not have a real Agricultural society, there is a major water way that runs through the city. The Miami River much like the waterways in the agricultural core serve an important purpose in helping stimulate the city's growth. The River now creates the Port of Miami, which is a vital port in the state of Florida. But because the river runs right through Miami-Dade County it has begun to become polluted. But businesses relying on the river and the port have made efforts to keep it clean.
The Miami River is now home to cargo ships which transport important materials to nearby islands like Haiti. Their cargo usually consists of: beans and rice, canned goods, clothing, household appliances, used cars, trucks, and buses.
