Hurricane Preparedness Information 2018 A.H. of Monroe County Consumer Hurricane Preparedness Information 2018 Hurricane Preparedness Florida is the hurricane capital of the United States and no matter where you live in the Sunshine State, you are vulnerable to the effects of a hurricane. Now is the time to make preparations so that you can protect yourself and your family in the event that a storm threatens your home. Included in this preparedness packet is the important information you should know to help keep you and your family prepared and out of harm’s way when a hurricane is headed your way. HURRICANE SEASON BEGINS JUNE 1ST AND ENDS NOVEMBER 30TH. GET A PLAN: It is important for you to know what to do in case of an emergency.

  • Benthic Resource Assessment Knights Key Resort Water Observation Platform
    Benthic Resource Assessment Knights Key Resort Water Observation Platform Prepared for: Knights Key Resort 1 Knights Key Boulevard Marathon, Florida 33050 Prepared by: May 21, 2018 Knights Key Resort Observation Platform – Benthic Resource Assessment Introduction Knights Key Resort is located at 1 Knights Key Boulevard, marathon, Monroe County, Florida. The facility is currently undergoing re-development as a resort hotel. A water observation platform is proposed to provide guests viewing access to the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The proposed water observation platform is a “T” design that extends from uplands out into shallow waters. The proposed walkway is 4’ in width and extends appx. 119’ over submerged lands and wetlands. The proposed terminal platform is 160 sf (16 x 10). The entire structure (walkway and terminus) is elevated a minimum of + 5.0 MHW and the decking is light-transmitting grating. The project was designed to comply with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers/National Marine Fisheries Service “Construction Guidelines in Florida for Minor Piling- Supported Structures Constructed in or over Submerged Aquatic Vegetation”. Project plans prepared by Weiler Engineering were submitted as part of the application for the project and contain full construction details. An assessment of the benthic resources potentially impacted by the project expansion project was conducted on May 11, 2018. The objective of the benthic assessment was to assess and document living marine resources potentially impacted by the proposed project. In addition, a specific-purpose survey for corals was conducted to fulfill Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS) requirements. Methods An in-water assessment of the project area was conducted on May 11, 2018 by scientific divers experienced in conducting resource assessments of benthic habitats found in the Florida Keys.
