Number Two: The Florida Keys Ecosystem

Florida Keys Ecosystem (Monroe County): With gin-clear water, reefs, islands, and unique hardwood hammocks, the Keys are one of Florida’s natural gems that are under grave threat due to intense development. Protecting what’s left of the unprotected, undeveloped Keys will enhance current nature-based recreational opportunities for millions of visitors and help ensure the survival of 68 unique rare plants and animals, some found no where else in the world.
