New Florida Keys Biodiversity Project!

Welcome contributors and viewers to the new Florida Keys Biodiversity project! The goal of this project is to serve as a portal for all those with an interest in learning more about the bounty of wildlife that can be found in the Florida Keys, and to encourage everyone to contribute their past and future sightings here. If you have a collection of photos from past trips to the Keys that you just haven't had a chance to submit to iNaturalist, I encourage you to do so! Also, if you know other naturalists that are visitors to the keys who may not have signed up for iNaturalist yet, please invite them to do so, which will allow all of us to view, help identify and enjoy their observations!

Please return here often to view updates other contributors have made, and read about the latest news and events regarding Keys wildlife. If you have an event that you would like posted here, contact me with a web link to the item via iNat Mail.

As always, I welcome any thoughts and opinions about this project that you may have.

Sincerely,

Jay Keller,
Project Administrator

News: New dating hotspots open in the Florida Keys, this time for frigatebirds

"Imagine lush mangroves, romantic background music and about two dozen good looking members of the opposite sex. Sounds like the perfect place to meet your mate. At least that's what the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is going for, as it tries to get the Magnificent Frigatebirds of the Florida Keys to relocate their nesting sites."
