    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.

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.

  • The Sunshine State

    The Sunshine State

    1 The Sunshine State Visitors driving into Florida pass signs that offer a greeting and men- tion the weather they may expect: “Welcome to Florida—The Sunshine State.” It is the sunshine that lures so many people to Florida. Florida has been officially known as the Sunshine State since 1970, but other nicknames include the Peninsula State, the Everglades State, the Alliga- tor State, and the Orange State. Florida is the land of sunshine, beaches, theme parks, wildlife, and much more. Florida’s warm, sunnyproof weather has created a population of tourists, retirees, refugees from the cold North, and visitors from overseas, but Florida’s weather isn’t always warm and sunny. Every Floridian knows to expect rumbling thunderstorms arising from the hot and humid air lifted by sea breezes that sometimes turn violent during summer after- noons. These storms, which are sometimes deadly, throw out bolts of lightning like the Greek god Thor, striking whomever may be in their path. At times the weather is hot and dry for months, as Floridians all over the state saw in 1998 when the parched land ignited into wildfires. Thick smoke from fires at night clings close to the ground and mixes with fog, creating a deadly mix when it drifts over roadways. During the winter, Arctic air masses originating in Siberia migrate across the dark and frozen northlands to Alaska and Canada and plunge southward, bringing a frigid chill to Florida. Snow is not on the mind of most Flo- ridians unless they are headed to the ski slopes or hear news of a bliz- zard up north.

  • Anemones, Form Associations with Several Invertebrates Such As Cleaner Shrimps (Limbaugh Et Al

    Anemones, Form Associations with Several Invertebrates Such As Cleaner Shrimps (Limbaugh Et Al

    2009 Quick Look Report: Miller et al. VII. Anemone and Corallimorpharian Density Background Most historical and recent studies of Caribbean reef fauna, including those in the Florida Keys, have generally focused on either stony corals or fishes. This is not surprising, given that corals are primary framework builders, while fishes, along with certain shellfish species (e.g. queen conch and spiny lobster) are generally the most economically important fishery targets. In the Florida Keys, however, commercial marine-life fisheries and aquarium hobbyists remove an incredible diversity and number of invertebrates and fishes (Bohnsack et al. 1994). Otherwise known as the marine ornamental fishery, aquarium fisheries target a diversity of fish, invertebrate, and algal species, in addition to sand and live rock from West Palm Beach to Key West (FWCC 2001). State and Federal waters near Key West and Marathon in the Florida Keys constitute 94% of the total fishes and invertebrates removed in southeast Florida for the marine aquarium trade. Commercial data do not include an undocumented effort from recreational fishers, nor are data available concerning species abundance patterns and population trends relative to fishing effort (NOAA 1996). Key Largo has been protected from marine aquarium trade species collection since 1960 in John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, followed by the protection in federal waters in 1975 with the establishment of Key Largo National Marine Sanctuary. The Looe Key area has been protected since 1981, as well as Everglades National Park (Florida Bay), portions of the Dry Tortugas area, Biscayne National Park, and Fish and Wildlife Service management areas. There is a paucity of basic ecological information for most Florida Keys anemone and corallimorpharian (Cnidaria, Anthozoa) species, and even fewer studies have explored the population effects of exploitation.
