ABOUT THE FLORIDA KEYS NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARYFew marine environments in the world can compare to the Florida Keys in terms of natural beauty and natural resources. The most extensive living coral reef in the United States and the third longest barrier reef in the world (following Australia and Belize) lies about six miles seaward of the Florida Keys. Coral reefs contain more varieties of life than any other marine environment. In recognition of this important national treasure, Congress created the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary in 1990. The Sanctuary consists of 2,800 square nautical miles of coastal and oceanic waters, and the submerged lands thereunder, surrounding the Florida Keys, and extending westward to encompass the Tortugas islands, but excluding the Dry Tortugas National Park.Within these waters are spectacular, unique, and nationally significant marine environments.. |
