For assistance with field work and logistics we would like to thank Morgan Wagner, Michael Hoffman, Brian Lockwood, Shelby Moneysmith, Vanessa McDonough, and Astrid Santini from Biscayne National Park, Eliza Gonzalez from Montgomery Botanical Center, Dallas Hazelton from Miami-Dade County, and volunteer biologists Joseph Montes de Oca and Elizabeth Wu. Thank you to the cooperators whose excellent past work on this project has laid the foundation upon which we stand today, especially Carol Lippincott, Rob Campbell, Joyce Maschinski, Janice Duquesnel, Dena Garvue, and Sam Wright. Janice Duquesnel provided important details about the 1991-1994 outplanting efforts. Suggested citation Possley, J., J. Lange, S. Wintergerst and L. Cuni. 2021. Status update: long-term monitoring of Pseudophoenix sargentii on Elliott Key, Biscayne National Park. Unpublished report from Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, funded by Florida Dept. of Agriculture and Consumer Services Agreement #027132. Background Pseudophoenix sargentii H.Wendl. ex Sarg., known by the common names ‘Sargent’s cherry palm’ and ‘buccaneer palm,’ is a slow-growing palm native to coastal habitats throughout the Caribbean basin, where it grows on exposed limestone or in humus or sand over limestone. Over the past century, the species has declined throughout its range, due to in part to overharvesting for use in landscaping.

  • Florida Coral Reefs: Islandia
    FOREWORD· In their present relatively undeveloped state, the upper Florida Keys and the adjoining waters and submerged. lands of Biscayne ~ay and the Atlantic Ocean are an enviromr~.ental element highly important to Florida ancl a valuable recreation resource for the nation. Fully aware that intensive private development would greatly alter . these values, the Secretary of the Interior directed the National Park Service and the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, assisted by the Fish and Wildlife Service, to conduct studies of the area. This interim professional report is the r~sult of these studies. It is being distributed now to solicit the comments and suggestions of interested parties. The additional information obtained in this manner will be utilized by the National Park Service and the Bureau of Outdoor Recre­ ation to complete the study and formulate recommendations to the Secretary· of the Interior. It is requested that comments and suggestions on this interim profes­ sional report be sent to the Regional Director, Southeast Region, Na­ tional Park Service, P. 0. Box 10008, Richmond, Virginia 23240. Material should be submitted in time to reach the Regional Director on or before August 15, 1965. ~~ Edward C.

We compiled records of non-native pythons and boas from the Florida Keys, cross-referenced them to eliminate duplicates, and categorized each record’s credibility. We report on 159 observations of six python and boa species in the Florida Keys over the past 17 years.

  • BISCAYNE NATIONAL PARK the Florida Keys Begin with Soldier Key in the Northern Section of the Park and Continue to the South and West
    CHAPTER TWO: BACKGROUND HISTORY GEOLOGY AND PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY OF BISCAYNE NATIONAL PARK The Florida Keys begin with Soldier Key in the northern section of the Park and continue to the south and west. The upper Florida Keys (from Soldier to Big Pine Key) are the remains of a shallow coral patch reef that thrived one hundred thousand or more years ago, during the Pleistocene epoch. The ocean level subsided during the following glacial period, exposing the coral to die in the air and sunlight. The coral was transformed into a stone often called coral rock, but more correctly termed Key Largo limestone. The other limestones of the Florida peninsula are related to the Key Largo; all are basically soft limestones, but with different bases. The nearby Miami oolitic limestone, for example, was formed by the precipitation of calcium carbonate from seawater into tiny oval particles (oolites),2 while farther north along the Florida east coast the coquina of the Anastasia formation was formed around the shells of Pleistocene sea creatures. When the first aboriginal peoples arrived in South Florida approximately 10,000 years ago, Biscayne Bay was a freshwater marsh or lake that extended from the rocky hills of the present- day keys to the ridge that forms the current Florida coast. The retreat of the glaciers brought about a gradual rise in global sea levels and resulted in the inundation of the basin by seawater some 4,000 years ago. Two thousand years later, the rising waters levelled off, leaving the Florida Keys, mainland, and Biscayne Bay with something similar to their current appearance.3 The keys change.

  • Archaeological Investigations on the Upper Florida Keys by JOHN M
    Archaeological Investigations On The Upper Florida Keys by JOHN M. GOGGIN D URING THE SUMMER of 1940 an archaeological survey was made of a portion of the Upper Florida Keys.' The area covered was from Virginia and Biscayne Keys on the north to Lower Mate- cumbe Key on the south, plus a portion of the west shore of Biscayne Bay. Summer is the least desirable time to attempt work in this area, but circumstances offered no other choice. The area in question was inhabited by the Tekesta* Indians.2 Ap- parently this tribe, like various others in the state, was more or less a political confederation of small local groups. There are many references to the presence of Indians on the Keys or "Los Martires" as the Spanish frequently called them, but few villages are named. Fontaneda does mention some towns, but they appear to have been located on the Lower Keys. In 1607 Governor Ibarra states that he received a visit from some chiefs, among whom were " . .. principal lords of the mouth of Miguel Mora." According to Swanton ".. this name was given to the opening between the Florida Mainland and the Keys on the eastern side." 3 This may be the present Card Sound. The one tribe or village that is men- tioned rather commonly is Matecumbe. This was probably located on the present Lower Matecumbe Key, because on many early maps it is called Old Matecumbe to differentiate it from Upper Matecumbe Key. The earliest mention is in 1573, when the Matecumbe Indians attained notice by killing a number of Spaniards.4 It was again mentioned about 1.

  • Pioneering on Elliott Key: 1934-1935
    Pioneering on Elliott Key, 1934-1935 By CHARLOTTE NIEDHAUK The depression of the 1930's has been blamed for many things, but my husband and I look back on it with a bit of fondness. It made us pioneers for a time on Elliott Key, and changed the course of our entire lives. My husband, Russell H. Niedhauk, age 30, and I, age 24, were not faring as badly as many other victims of the depression. We lived in Fort Lauder- dale, and Russ worked for most of the year as chief engineer on a 77-foot yacht owned by the Baldwin Locomotive people. His salary was excellent for the time-$200 per month and all expenses. During the periods when the yacht was not in use, he worked in a "filling station" where he met many interesting characters. Russ' German background and Pennsylvania Dutch rearing had nurtured the creative ability that enabled him to excel at many things. Build- ing a house or a sailboat, or putting together an engine from salvaged junk, was pleasure rather than work for him. In addition, he was both sensitive and adventurous; he met new people and situations eagerly and easily. And he did not believe in working wives! I was a city girl of French heritage, trained as a private secretary and legal stenographer. My biggest problem was to conceal and ignore my back- ground and accept and enjoy the speech, mannerisms, and habits of the new people in my married life. Though I may have been apprehensive at times, I at least tried never to let it show.
