The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, snow and ice have diminished, sea level has risen, and concentrations of greenhouse gases have increased. One of the most robust indicators of a warming climate is rising sea level driven by thermal expansion of ocean water and addition of land-based ice-melt to the ocean, however, sea level rise is not evenly distributed around the globe and the response of a coastline is highly dependent on local natural and human settings. This is particularly evident at the southern end of the Florida peninsula where low elevations and exceedingly flat topography provide an ideal setting for encroachment of the sea. Here, we illustrate projected impacts of sea level rise to infrastructure in Everglades, Biscayne and Dry Tortugas National Parks at four time horizons: 2025, 2050, 2075 and 2100, and under two sea level rise scenarios, a low projection and a high projection.

  • Scientific Studies on Dry Tortugas National Park: an Annotated Bibliography
    ATOLL RESEARCH BULLETIN NO. 449 SCIENTIFIC STUDIES ON DRY TORTUGAS NATIONAL PARK: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY BY T.W. SCHMIDT AND L. PIKULA ISSUED BY NATIONAI, MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION WASHINGTON, D.C., U.S.A. OCTOBER 1997 SCIENTIFIC STUDIES ON DRY TORTUGAS NATIONAL PARK: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY Thomas W. schmidt1 and Linda pikula2 ABSTRACT Dry Tortugas National Park, located 110 km west of Key West, Florida, is an elliptical, atoll-like, coral reef formation, approximately 27 km long and 12 km wide with shallow water depths ranging from 12-20 m in channels between reefs. In 1935, the area was designated Fort Jefferson National Monument, the World's first underwater National Park unit. Central to the area is Fort Jefferson, America's largest coastal nineteenth century masonty fort. In 1992 it was re-designated Dly Tortugas National Park. Because of the islands' unique location, the first tropical marine biological laboratory in the Western Hemisphere was established on Loggerhead Key by the Carnegie Institution of Washington, Washington, D. C. Following the closure of the Tortugas Laboratory in 1939, aperiodic marine biological assessments have been conducted in response to man- made and natural environmental perturbations. This annotated bibliography is an attempt to provide researchers and resource managers with access to the rapidly accumulating body of information on the park's natural resources. A total of 424 references (published and unpublished) on scientific studies in, (and what later became) Dry Tortugas National Park were annotated and indexed according to major scientific topics. Studies from a wider area were included if they also sampled in Dry Tortugas National Park.

  • The Underground Railroad at Fort Jefferson
    National Park Service Dry Tortugas U.S. Department of the Interior Dry Tortugas National Park The Underground Railroad at Fort Jefferson Introduction Shortly after midnight on July 10, 1847, seven enslaved African Americans fled Garden Key. Over the lengthy construction of Fort Jefferson, large numbers of enslaved workers were employed by the U.S. Army. The conditions were harsh, and the hopes of escape virtually nonexistent. Freedom seekers faced incredible odds. Surrounded by miles of open sea and treacherous reefs, perhaps no area in North America presented greater challenges to self-emancipation. Undaunted by these long odds, seven men set out to do the impossible.

  • Key Vaca, Part I
    Key Vaca, Part 1 By FLORENCE S. BRIGHAM The "New Era" in the life of Key Vaca, an island about two-thirds of the distance along Route U. S. 1 from the Florida mainland to Key West, has often been described as "spectacular", "incredible", "phenomenal", and "meteoric". It is said there is no equal anywhere in the world to Key Vaca's rapid development. For the past ten years various kinds of construction have gone on at such a steady and rapid rate that upon inquiring of Mr. John W. Greenleaf, Jr., civil engineer, of the results of his study of the Keys made in 1952-1953, he cautioned, "You must remember that was back in 1953!" The 1940 census showed the population of the Keys to be no greater than it had been in 1885 and only two-thirds as great as it had been in 1910. The entire area was without potable water except rainfall and that was stored in cisterns. When the aqueduct began operating in 1942 the country was at war. Travel was severely restricted. Building of new homes and over-night lodges was forbidden, construction materials being reserved for military purposes. To determine the present and the future need of water supply of the Florida Keys, Mr. Greenleaf considered such factors as: the opening in 1938 of the Overseas Highway; the aqueduct operating in 1942; World War II ending in 1945; statistics of school enrollment and of gasoline, electricity, and water consumption, toll highway traffic, population, meter installation, building permits, and the forecasts by the telephone company, the electric company, and the Chamber of Commerce.
