SEAKEYS:A FKNMS
MONITORING PARTNERSHIP
SEAKEYSSustained Ecological Research
Related to the Management of the Florida Keys Seascape
Began in 1989 – Research Framework for Scientists Studying Physical Oceanography, Benthic Communities and Water Quality
Created to provide scientists and managers with long-term oceanographic and meteorological data to assist with:
• Connectivity Modeling
• Documentation of Unusual Events
• Discrimination of Natural Variation from Human Disturbances
SEAKEYS - Program Overview:• Tennant @ Keys
Marine Lab (FIO-FWC)
• Staff of 2 - Biologists
• Station visits every 3-4 weeks plus events
• Grant funding of $150K/yr from NOAA & US-EPA covers: operational costs, rent, salary, overhead
SEAKEYS – Network
•6 Original NOAA NDBC C-MAN Stations
• 1999 Added USF-COMPS Station
• 2007 Added NOAA NDBC Waves Buoy
• 2008 Added Decommissioned NOAA ICON Station for
Regional Comparison
• 2009 Added FIO Environmental Buoy and NOAA RECON

Successes:
Besides one of the longest running continuous data sets, there have been notable “event” records as well.
August 24, 1992 FWYF1 provided the highest ever fixed station recorded wind speed at 165 mph in the path of Hurricane Andrew.
Successes - Event Example: Hurricane Rita 9/20/05
SANF1 DRYF1 SMKF1SANF1 DRYF1 SMKF1
LONF1 MLRF1 FWYF1LONF1 MLRF1 FWYF1
Successes -
Event Example:Long Key, FL 12.2.07 30 cm of rain fell in 7 ½ hours.

• Repair and upgrade infrastructure• Enhance Identity• Establish a permanent home with secure
funding• Experiment with AUVs and Station-Keeping
Buoys• Obtain funding to establish near-real-time
current and visibility sensors on deep water dive sites by leveraging funds from public sources
