Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary supports one of the most diverse assemblages of marine life in North America. Although best known for its coral reefs, the shallow nearshore waters contain interconnecting marine habitats that include fringing mangroves, seagrass meadows, and more. Visitors to the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary can enjoy diving, snorkeling, paddlesports, wildlife watching, boating, and fishing. Anglers can target inshore species such as tarpon, snook, redfish, barracuda, and hogfish; they can also target many offshore species including mahi mahi, marlin, sailfish, tuna, and wahoo. Check out Blue Star Operators when booking your fishing or diving trip. These operators are partnered with the National Marine Sanctuary System, dedicated to sustainable recreation and tourism, and committed to educating visitors about the Florida Keys ecosystem.
