 "The
Florida Keys. Some call this 150-mile chain of islands at Florida's
southern tip one of the most diverse and important ecological features
of North America. Some refer to the Keys simply as 'Paradise." The
Keys attract an estimated four million visitors each year, many
of whom come to dive and fish on the United States' only living
coral reef tract.
Most visitors, however, area unaware that there is much more to
the nature of the Keys than the coral reefs. Wide expanses of seagrass
beds, mysterious mangrove forests, lush tropical hardwood hammocks,
rocky pinelands, and a variety of freshwater and saltwater wetlands
are as much a part of the Keys as are the reefs. The subtropical
climate and proximity to the Gulf Stream have allowed a unique blend
of West Indian and temperate plants and wildlife to become established
on these coral islands....Come and explore the natural wonders of
an island paradise -- The Florida Keys... "
