SEAKEYS Automated Monitoring System

[John Ogden]

Many of you will receive from me a detailed explanation of the situation  
with regard to the SEAKEYS/NDBC Automated Monitoring system in the Keys.  The 
FIO has hit the wall on funding and unless new sources are identified  
soon, we will be forced to close the Sand Key and Long Key stations and,  
more importantly, let our staff at the Key Marine Laboratory who maintain  
the stations go.  I will be in contact with you early next month.  In the  
meantime, if any of you has any good ideas, we would like to hear them. 

Cheers.
