M.A., Marine Affairs Efforts to Create a Sustainable Environment within May 1, 1999 the Florida Keys; Requirements for the Future Abstract of a master's internship thesis at the University of Miami, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. Thesis supervised by Dr. Fernando Moreno. Number of pages in text: 41 The natural environment of South Florida has been affected by many anthropogenic disturbances, such as nutrient enrichment, soil erosion, pesticide contamination, and algal blooms. Efforts to divert freshwater resources to sustain the more populated areas have had devastating effects on the state's wetland areas. Coastal and benthic ecosystems have also been subject to many stressors as a result of runoff and groundwater contamination. Legislators have begun to consider the impact of ecosystem destruction not only ecologically but economically and have responded with increased funding and protective legislation designed to preserve the area. -

SUGARLOAF KEY's HISTORIC RESOURCES by GEORGE BORN Published in the Key West Citizen on Sunday, March 25, 2007
SUGARLOAF KEY'S HISTORIC RESOURCES BY GEORGE BORN Published in the Key West Citizen on Sunday, March 25, 2007 Throughout the history of Sugarloaf Key, people have created and left behind a number of historic sites and structures. Some have survived; others have perished. Native American settlement on the island is evidenced by a midden — or shell heap — on the gulfside of Upper Sugarloaf, facing Cudjoe Key. This area drew the first white settlement, too. The 1850 census notes Jonathan Thompson and two other men there, growing tropical fruits and sweet potatoes. Non-agricultural supplies had to be brought in from Key West. By the 1890s, J. Vining Harris, who built the Southernmost House in Key West, owned extensive areas of Lower Sugarloaf and had a wooden house there. In 1909, he sold some of this land to Charles and George Chase, who pioneered efforts to grow sponges in Sugarloaf Sound. Soon, the community of Chase sprung up, with a post office, houses and work buildings. None of these structures survive. The Sugarloaf Lodge stands in the area today. The building of the Overseas Railroad, which reached Key West in 1912, created the right-of- way and concrete-arch bridges still remaining. The latter include the Lower Sugarloaf Channel Bridge connecting the Saddlebunch Keys with Lower Sugarloaf, the Park Channel Bridge connecting Park Key with Upper Sugarloaf and the Bow Channel Bridge connecting Upper Sugarloaf with Cudjoe. World War I wound up having a significant influence on Sugarloaf, as the financial instability brought about by the war drove the Chase Brothers' sponge operation into bankruptcy. -

Perhaps those qualities are what by Jane Washburn inspire the many creative types who visit and inhabit these beautiful islands. The writers, artists, musicians and performers who have called the Keys home over the past 150 years have helped weave a rich and diverse cultural tapestry here. Add to that a history that includes pirates and presidents, and the result is a destination that feeds the mind as well as the soul. This is a special place, so please come and enjoy it!
