Anna B's Owner, a Short Story by Judith Mercado
Home Anna B's Owner Winter/Spring by Judith Mercado 2011 “I hear your brother’s living on a boat in the Florida Keys.” Autumn/Winter 2011 I stared at this childhood friend, in town for a short visit, who had no idea what he had just done. Finally, I heard myself say, “Really? Where in the Florida Keys?” Summer 2010 “I don't know where exactly.” He squinted. “It's not Key West or I think I'd Spring 2010 remember. Not Key Largo either . .” Winter 2010 Please don’t remember, Bob. Autumn 2009 I worked at keeping my face placid. If Bob thought my interest was trivial, he might not try so hard to remember, and there was still hope for my ordered life. Summer 2009 Spring 2009 “Marathon,” he said finally. “That's it. That’s where he is.” Autumn 2008 I smiled stiffly. Marathon. A tangible destination that made my brother come alive again. Summer 2008 It had been six years since I heard one of those bits and pieces about my Spring/Summer peripatetic brother Dan that occasionally came my way. Like how he went out to 2008 New Mexico and ran a trailer park outside Chimayó for a while. Another time, someone said he was tending a gas station in Amarillo. No one ever talked about Winter/Spring his photography, whose artistry had once been so promising. No one mentioned 2008 anything about promise at all. Editor's Note I didn’t ask about it now. I had caught my second wind and regained some of the serenity I spent twenty-one years cultivating.

Florida Keys Baseline Sampling Plan for Water and Sediment
Mississippi Canyon 252 Incident Baseline Sediment and Water Collection and Analyses for NRDA Purposes in Florida Keys Approval of this work plan is for the purposes of obtaining data for the Natural Resource Damage Assessment. Parties each reserve its right to produce its own independent interpretation and analysis of any data collected pursuant to this work plan APPROVED: Date: 1 060410 Final Florida Keys Baseline Sampling Plan for Water and Sediment BACKGROUND The Florida Keys extend approximately 220 nautical miles from the southern tip of the Florida peninsula, southwest to the Dry Tortugas. The Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, which surrounds the Keys, covers 2,900 square nautical miles of coastal waters, overlaps four national wildlife refuges, six state parks, and three state aquatic preserves. In addition, three national parks share boundaries with the Sanctuary. The Florida Keys marine ecosystem supports over 6,000 species of plants, fishes, and invertebrates, including the nation's only living coral reef that lies adjacent to the continent. The area also includes extensive seagrass communities, mangrove islands and fringes, and some of the most significant maritime heritage and historical resources of any coastal community in the nation. In addition, the region's natural resources provide livelihoods for many of the nearly 80,000 residents, and provide recreation for visitors totaling approximately thirteen million visitor-days each year. In order to proactively begin the steps of the Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) process, planning was initiated to determine the protocols and sampling sites that would be used for the collection of baseline water and sediment samples.
