  • Conservation and Coastal Element Data Inventory and Analysis
    City of Marathon Comprehensive Plan CONSERVATION AND COASTAL ELEMENT DATA INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS This section addresses the data inventory requirements supportive of the development of goals, objectives, policies, and implementation programs for the Conservation and Coastal Element. (§9J-5.012(2) and §9J-5.013(1), F.A.C.) Environmental Setting of Marathon and the Florida Keys The low-lying limestone islands comprising the Florida Keys extend 233 miles southwestward in a gradual arc from Biscayne bay at the southeastern tip of the Florida peninsula to the Dry Tortugas in the Gulf of Mexico. Southeast of the Keys is the Florida Reef Tract, a continuous band of coral reefs bordering the Straits of Florida, lying five to seven miles offshore and extending 220 miles from Solider Key to the Dry Tortugas. To the west and northwest is Florida Bay, a shallow embayment of the Gulf of Mexico with an extensive network of carbonate mud shoals and seagrass beds (Florida DER, 1987d). At the top of the Upper Keys, Card Sound and Barnes Sound are shallow embayments which tie into Biscayne Bay. Climate Marathon and the Florida Keys experience a subtropical savanna-type climate characterized by warm humid summers and mild dry winters. The mean annual sunshine is 3,300 hours, ten percent more than the Florida Peninsula to the north. The average annual temperature in the Florida Keys ranges from a summer high of 89 degrees in July to a winter low of 63 degrees in February. Temperatures below freezing have not been recorded in the Keys, primarily due to the meliorative effects of the warm marine waters in the area and the presence of the warm Gulf Stream along the coast.

CORP., a Florida corporation, Plaintiff - Appellant, versus UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Defendant - Appellee. ________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida ________________________ (March 28, 2016) Before WILSON, JULIE CARNES, and EBEL,* Circuit Judges. EBEL, Circuit Judge: __________________ * Honorable David M. Ebel, United States Circuit Judge for the Tenth Circuit, sitting by designation. Case: 15-11771 Date Filed: 03/28/2016 Page: 2 of 25 Plaintiff-Appellant F.E.B. Corp. (“F.E.B.”) brought this action against Defendant-Appellee United States (“the government”) seeking to quiet title to a spoil island just off Key West, Florida. Because we find that the Quiet Title Act’s statute of limitations has run, see 28 U.S.C. § 2409a(g), we AFFIRM the district court’s dismissal of the action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. I. BACKGROUND The island in question, known as Wisteria Island (or “the island”), is situated in the Gulf of Mexico, less than a mile off the coast of Key West, Florida. It is not a natural island, but rather was formed as a result of dredging operations performed under the auspices of the United States Navy (“Navy”) in nearby Key West Harbor during the first half of the nineteenth century. As Navy contractors deepened the channels in the harbor to improve shipping and aviation access, they deposited the dredged material on a nearby plot of submerged land.

    Boaters: Vessel Sewage Restrictions Protect Our Environment Good water quality is essential to a healthy Florida Keys’ marine ecosystem. q Discharging treated or untreated sewage from your boat’s marine head (Marine Sanitation Device [MSD]) into the waters of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary is prohibited. q To help prevent unintentional discharges of treated or untreated sewage into the marine environment, MSDs must be secured and locked at all times. Acceptable methods for securing MSDs include, but are not limited, to those approved by the U.S. Coast Guard. (33 CFR 159.7) Pump-out facilities are located throughout the Keys to assist boat operators in adhering to these rules, which help protect people and marine life from potentially harmful vessel sewage discharges.

  • Triple 9 (2016). Directed by John Hillcoat [Film]. USA. Worldview Entertainment and Anonymous Content. Atlanta, Georgia. Word Co
    Triple 9 (2016). Directed by John Hillcoat [film]. USA. Worldview Entertainment and Anonymous Content. Atlanta, Georgia. Word count: 1491 Reviewed by Susanna Menis, School of Law, Birkbeck, University of London, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HX, [email protected] Abstract: This film review addresses the social perception of crime as represented in this crime film. Although a ‘popcorn movie’, it exemplifies a number of socio-criminological concerns. The review critically considers the role of the heroes and the nature of the outlaws within a context of police corruption. The review argues that not only does the film reflect stereotypical understandings of certain social groups, but its complete elimination of all the ‘bad’ characters reveals the ease with which our society is prepared to dispose of certain individuals. Key words: crime films, heroes, organised crime, police corruption, marginalised social groups 1 Triple 9 (2016). Directed by John Hillcoat [film]. USA. Worldview Entertainment and Anonymous Content. Triple 9 is an expression which stands for ‘an officer down’, implying that a police officer has been shot and therefore all police units need to attend the scene. This does not reveal, however, that the film is really about police corruption. In Atlanta, Georgia, a crew of five gang men – including two police officers – are collaborating with the Russian Mafia to retrieve files which will allow the early release from prison of the Russian Mafia boss. This is done through a heist in which a police officer is shot on the other side of town, allowing the rest of the crew to complete the robbery while all police units attend the 999 call.
