  • 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.
