[Coral-List] Fwd: FL Legislature and SEAKEYS

[Mel Briscoe]

Florida's seaward boundary in the Gulf of Mexico is 3 marine leagues (9
nautical miles) and is 3 nautical miles in the Atlantic.

They could fund it if they wanted to.

Coral-Listers,

   The (previous) Field Operations Manager of SEAKEYS, Jon Fajans, sent me a
reminder about why the State of Florida has declined supporting the
continued maintenance of the network:

Hi Jim,****

** **

The State of Florida has been asked repeatedly for funding for the SEAKEYS
program, and each time they have declined, pointing out that the stations
(and the reef for that matter) are in federal waters outside the State's
three mile boundary.****
