Saving Our Country's Longest and Oldest Coral Reef
At 350 miles in length, the Florida Reef Tract is the third largest coral reef in the world. And most importantly, it is the only US coral reef you can reach by car. As a result, millions of tourists travel to Florida to enjoy scuba diving, snorkeling, and fishing on south Florida's coral reefs. These activities provide a great source of income for Florida and its coastal communities. It is estimated that coral reef activities generate $3.4 billion in sales in general and income and support 36,000 jobs in the region each year.
But all that love comes with a heavy cost to the health of the reef. What we need is a plan to help turn things around and save our coral reef before it is gone forever. Take a journey to the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary on this story map virtual tour and hear what folks are saying about what we can all do to help save this national treasure.
