Description
Excerpt: There is a long history of marine conservation in this remote and unique region. The Tortugas were the site of the first marine protected area in the United States, the Dry Tortugas National Monument, established in 1935. In 1992, the monument was elevated to Dry Tortugas National Park. In 1990, much of the surrounding waters gained protection as part of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. From the beginning, the Sanctuary identified the Tortugas as deserving special protection.
