  • 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.

  • An Introduction to Authentic Public Speaking
    An Introduction to Authentic Public Speaking www.presencetraining.co.uk Contents Introduction 3 Principle 1 – It’s all about you, but not in the way you think 4 Principle 2 – Don’t try to control your feelings 5 Principle 3 – Make (the right sort of) eye contact 7 Principle 4 – See and be seen 9 Principle 5 – Trust the silence 11 Principle 6 – Don’t forget to breathe 13 Principle 7 – The connection is more important than the content 15 So now what…? 17 Further reading 18 2 Introduction Welcome to this introductory guide to authentic public speaking. What we’re aiming to introduce to you here is a radically different and astonishingly effective way of doing public speaking. One that blew me away and delighted me when I first discovered it. The foundation for this approach is an understanding that relationship is at the heart of what it means to be human, and that if we get the relationships right everything else follows. And that public speaking is no exception. So, this is public speaking viewed as an act of relating to others – something we do with others - not to others. From this point of view public speaking is a co-created act. We create an event of public speaking with our audience. Yes, we have different roles – the speaker and the audience, yet we are both listening to each other and both responding. What we’ve tried to do in this guide is to encapsulate most of the main principles that we cover in the first 2 days of our Foundation training.

    Our Story The Florida Keys Scenic Highway (FKSH) corridor runs from Mile Marker 110, north of the spectacular Jewfish Creek Bridge, to Mile Marker 0 in Old Town Key West. The scenic highway corridor also extends five miles on each side of the highway. So, the FKSH truly encompasses all of the Florida Keys, its natural wonders, and its communities. Through efforts beginning in 1996 with numerous public meetings and workshops to create the Corridor Management Plan, the FDOT designated the FKSH a Florida Scenic Highway in 2001. In 2007, the Florida Keys Mission Statement Scenic Corridor Alliance (FKSCA) was To enhance the scenic image, preserve our established as the corridor management entity heritage and diversity, and promote the natural responsible for implementing the goals and beauty of the Florida Keys Scenic Corridor. objectives concerning the FKSH. The FKSCA completed its Corridor Management Plan Five- Year Update in fall of 2008 and applied for designation in the National Scenic Byways Program. The FKSCA proved our highway corridor meets the designation criteria of being considered a “destination unto itself” and “providing an exceptional travel experience.” Our scenic and recreational intrinsic qualities “are those which best represent the nation, are nationally recognized, and contain one-of-a- kind features that do not exist elsewhere.” The Florida Keys Scenic Highway is a natural fit. In October 2009, the Federal Highway Administration designated the Florida Keys Scenic Highway as an All-American Road – Florida Keys Scenic Corridor Alliance the highest status in the National Scenic P.O.
