This program, now being supported through NOAA'sSouth Florida Ecosystem Restoration, Prediction and Modeling Program(SFERPM), implements a framework for long-term monitoring and researchalong the 220 mile Florida coral reef tract and in Florida Bay at ageographical scale encompassing the Florida Keys National MarineSanctuary (FKNMS). The impetus for such a framework was the perceivedmarked regional decline in coral reefs and the critical need toprovide data and options for resource management. The network consistsof six instrument-enhanced Coastal-Marine Automated Network (C-MAN)stations, cooperatively managed with NOAA's National Data Buoy Center,plus a proposed new one in northwest Florida Bay. These stationsmeasure the usual C-MAN meteorological parameters, such as wind speed,gusts and barometric pressure, but are enhanced with oceanographicinstruments measuring salinity, sea temperature, fluorometry and turbidity.For additional information about SEAKEYS please visit:'http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/ocd/sferpm/seakeys/ogdencover.html'
