Originally intended to be part of Everglades National Park in Florida, how much of Biscayne National Park's 173,000 acres is underwater?

With an astounding 95% underwater, the only part of Biscayne National Park that doesn't need a boat to access is the Convoy Point, which is the area near the visitor center. The park was first protected as a National Monument in 1968, and became a National Park 12 years later.
