  2. Florida Keys Marathon KMTH → Key West International KEYW

    This is it!

    After 34 legs, I have now flown the eastern coast of North America from the eastern tip of Newfoundland to the end of the Florida Keys. What could be a better choice for flying the last miles than the good, old Cessna 152?

    I've already an idea for the next journey, so stay tuned :-)

  3. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International KFLL → Florida Keys Marathon KMTH

    How time flies! Today’s stage takes us from Fort Lauderdale via Miami Beach all the way to the Florida Keys. That means, the destination of this journey is almost in sight. Before we get there, though, we've got some stunning views of the Miami metropolitan area.

  8. Hype for the Future 138D: Monroe County, Florida

    Introduction Though the City of Key West is the county seat of Monroe County and located firmly at the outer edge of the Florida Keys, the vast majority of the land area of the county is home to only seventeen (17) residents as of the 2020 United States Census as part of the Everglades. To the south of the Everglades, the Florida Keys represent a Caribbean culture within close proximity to Cuba 🇨🇺 to the south and the Bahamas 🇧🇸 to the east. International influences in the region […]

  9. ‘These fish are delicious to eat’

    Invasive species are known for weakening the ecosystems they infiltrate, causing harm to native wildlife and even disrupting the food chain. To combat the prevalence of an invasive species in his area, TikTok fisherman FishingWithConner (@fishingwithconner) shared a d…

  10. Tiefere #Korallen in den #FloridaKeys könnten flacheren Riffen helfen, sich zu erholen. Eine neue Studie zeigt, dass mesophotische Korallen, die tiefer als 100 Fuß leben, von #Umweltstress besser geschützt sind und genetisches Potenzial für die Wiederherstellung beschädigter flacher #Riffe bieten. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass diese tieferen #Korallenpopulationen wichtige genetische Vielfalt und #Fortpflanzungsressourcen liefern könnten.

  11. What’s Killing #Endangered #Sawfish in #Florida?
    Off #FloridaKeys fish — jacks, snook — swim in spirals or upside down in shallow waters of #Atlantic and #GulfofMexico. So were #stingrays and the occasional #shark. Then, endangered sawfish started dying. Scientists are racing to figure out why but have not yet figured out what is going on. They have ruled out a few potential causes, including #redtide, toxic #algalbloom that has led to past kills.

  12. WHOI: Harmful Algae: #Gambierdiscus

    - Benthic dinoflagellate genus
    - Over 18 defined species and several ribotypes identified
    - Found globally in tropical and subtropical regions
    - Produce #ciguatoxins, which may lead to:
    • Human illness (Ciguatera Poisoning)
    • Significant public health impacts
    • Economic losses associated with health-related costs and lost productivity

    "Taxonomic studies have identified at least 18 species within the Gambierdiscus genus, many of which co-occur and differ significantly in toxicity. At least ten of these species have been found in tropical and subtropical regions of the U.S., including #Hawaii, the #GulfOfMexico, the #FloridaKeys, #PuertoRico, and the #USVirginIslands.

    "Temperature is a key factor controlling CTX occurrence, and laboratory experiments investigating the influence of temperature on growth of various Gambierdiscus species have shown that most species exhibit maximum growth rates between 24–30°C, but that growth responses varied by species. For example, temperature tolerances vary among species, although all are sensitive to higher temperatures, with steep declines in growth as temperatures exceed ~31°C.

    "Thus higher temperatures may favor growth of more thermally tolerant species in ciguatera endemic regions, and promote establishment of species shown to be less tolerant in subtropical and temperate regions. Warm surface temperatures may also favor increased abundance of Gambierdiscus populations in deeper waters.

    "There is recent evidence of geographic range expansion of #Gambierdiscus and CP into higher latitudes in U.S. waters, associated with climate-driven warming. Over the past two decades CP and CTXs were reported for the first time in the northern Gulf of Mexico, and ephemeral populations of Gambierdiscus have also been documented in #NorthCarolina. Prolonged periods of elevated water temperatures at these locations and in northern Florida are hypothesized to result in increased Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa cell densities."

  13. Fish are dying in the #FloridaKeys. Scientists are getting closer to finding out why

    By Heather Walker
    March 12, 2024

    "The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission says 27 species are now affected, primarily in the lower keys from #BigPine to #KeyWest, including the critically #endangered smalltooth #sawfish. Many have grounded themselves. As of last week, 20 have died."

  14. New tech protects homes from hurricanes, cuts emissions :

    Some developers are building homes like Paulson's with an eye toward making them more resilient to the extreme weather that's increasing with climate change, and friendlier to the environment at the same time.

  15. Race to save #Florida’s #coralreef from hot #ocean waters
    #Coral reef nurseries are being moved to deeper waters—or back into giant tanks on land.
    Volunteers at Keys Marine Laboratory and at other labs across Florida will hand-feed the tiny creatures to keep them alive until the Florida waters cool again and they can be returned to the ocean and eventually transplanted onto the reef. Normally, #ICARE divers would be transplanting #corals to #FloridaKeys this time of year
