Marine Zones and the Tortugas Ecological Reserve.

This picturesque string of islands conjures up images of

swaying palms trees and unforgettable sunsets,

yet it is most famous for the attractions

The Keys are home to the world's third largest,

and North America's only, barrier coral reef.

Novice snorkelers and experienced SCUBA divers come

from around the globe to discover the awe-inspiring

beauty of the Keys reef which stretches from north of Key

The coral reef ecosystem, with its seagrass flats and mangrove

fringed islands, also supports a robust recreational fishing

industry and almost 13 million pounds of commercial seafood

But a calm sea can often hide trouble below the surface.

And they have a long history of human influence.

The Keys have changed immensely over the past century.

To accommodate trains, and later cars, island passes were filled

and new islands were created, literally reshaping the Keys.

To satisfy demand for waterfront property and accommodate a

growing population, more than 124 miles of canals were dredged

from the islands a length almost as long as the entire

During the development boom of the 1950s through 70s, many

acres of tropical hardwood hammocks in the Florida Keys

were cleared to provide land for housing and commercial

development, and more than 50 percent of the historic mangrove

Over the last century, the Keys have been subject to over

fishing of grouper, sea turtles, and queen conch, resulting in

the listing of these species as endangered or protected.

And since the 1970s, the Keys marine ecosystem has experienced

staghorn from disease, bleaching and hurricanes.

In 1960, to address the declines in Keys coral reefs, John

Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park was established off Key Largo as

Continued environmental concerns prompted the designation of Key

Largo National Marine Sanctuary in 1975 and Looe Key National

However, even after these sanctuaries were established,

pollution, overfishing, physical impacts, and user conflicts

And throughout the 80s we started seeing all sorts of

We started seeing degraded water quality; we were seeing

increases in use of the resources; we were seeing more

and more boaters in the Keys and we were seeing more and more

And that was resulting in a lot of vessel grounding on the

Mounting threats to the health and future of the coral reef

ecosystem in the Florida Keys would then prompt Congress to

take action to further protect this fragile natural resource,

one of the nation's great underwater treasures.

Following three major ship groundings within seventeen

days, in October and November of 1989, Congressman Dante Fascell

from Florida worked with Senator Bob Graham to craft the Florida

Keys National Marine Sanctuary and Protection Act.

And in November of 1990 President Bush signed into law

the first congressionally designated sanctuary.

The Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.

This new sanctuary incorporated the preexisting Key Largo and

Looe Key sanctuaries to protect 2,800 square nautical miles of

The sanctuary is home to the world's third largest barrier

reef, extensive seagrass beds, more than 1,700 mangrove-fringed

islands, and more than 6,000 species of marine life.

It also preserves a part of our nation's history with countless

shipwrecks and other archeological treasures.

This ecosystem is the marine equivalent of a tropical rain

It supports high levels of biological diversity, but is

fragile and easily susceptible to damage from human activities.

But one thing that was really key to this particular sanctuary

is that Congress directed NOAA to consider spatial and temporal

zoning to better ensure the protection of Sanctuary

Just as areas of land may be set aside for specific uses, so too

Marine zones can help protect sensitive natural resources from

overuse, separate conflicting uses, and preserve the diversity

In 1997, after numerous public meetings, workshops, and

extensive public input, the sanctuary implemented its first

management plan, which included the country's first
