Summary:
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Miami Laboratory and the United States Coast Guard Miami Air Station established a cooperative agreement in September 1992 a monitor marine animals and vessel activity in the Florida Keys (McClellan 1996). The primary objectives of the study were to document sea turtle and marine mammal occurrence, seasonality, and distribution along the southeast Florida coast and to describe vessel usage patterns in Biscayne National Park (BNP) and the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS). A separate survey, in collaboration with Everglades National Park (ENP), was initiated in March 1995 (Browder et. al 1995, 1997) to census the large fish-eating water birds in Florida Bay. Sightings of marine mammals and reptiles were also recorded.
