there are no seaports, as there is neither a seacoast nor navigable rivers, but the okeechobee waterway is a navigable canal which crosses the region, connecting the gulf of mexico to the atlantic ocean through lake okeechobee. there is a proposal underway for a potential "inland port" to be located in the florida heartland. this inland port would be an extension of the ports of west palm beach, everglades and miami which lack the current and available real estate to expand their facilities.
