Appendix I to Subpart P of Part 922 - Florida Keys National Marine
Sanctuary Boundary Coordinates (Appendix Based on North American
Datum of 1983)
(1) The boundary of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary
-
(a) Begins at the northeasternmost point of Biscayne National
Park located at approximately 25 degrees 39 minutes north latitude,
80 degrees 05 minutes west longitude, then runs eastward to the
point at 25 degrees 39 minutes north latitude, 80 degrees 04
minutes west longitude; and
(b) Then runs southward and connects in succession the points at
the following coordinates:
(i) 25 degrees 34 minutes north latitude, 80 degrees 04 minutes
west longitude,
(ii) 25 degrees 28 minutes north latitude, 80 degrees 05 minutes
west longitude, and
(iii) 25 degrees 21 minutes north latitude, 80 degrees 07
minutes west longitude;
(iv) 25 degrees 16 minutes north latitude, 80 degrees 08 minutes
west longitude;
(c) Then runs southwesterly approximating the 300-foot isobath
and connects in succession the points at the following
coordinates:
(i) 25 degrees 07 minutes north latitude, 80 degrees 13 minutes
west longitude,
(ii) 24 degrees 57 minutes north latitude, 80 degrees 21 minutes
west longitude,
(iii) 24 degrees 39 minutes north latitude, 80 degrees 52
minutes west longitude,
(iv) 24 degrees 30 minutes north latitude, 81 degrees 23 minutes
west longitude,
(v) 24 degrees 25 minutes north latitude, 81 degrees 50 minutes
west longitude,
(vi) 24 degrees 22 minutes north latitude, 82 degrees 48 minutes
west longitude,
(vii) 24 degrees 37 minutes north latitude, 83 degrees 06
minutes west longitude,
(viii) 24 degrees 46 minutes north latitude, 83 degrees 06
minutes west longitude,
(ix) 24 degrees 46 minutes north latitude, 82 degrees 54 minutes
west longitude,
(x) 24 degrees 44 minutes north latitude, 81 degrees 55 minutes
west longitude,
(xi) 24 degrees 51 minutes north latitude, 81 degrees 26 minutes
west longitude, and
(xii) 24 degrees 55 minutes north latitude, 80 degrees 56
minutes west longitude;
(d) Then follows the boundary of Everglades National Park in a
southerly then northeasterly direction through Florida Bay,
Buttonwood Sound, Tarpon Basin, and Blackwater Sound;
(e) After Division Point, then departs from the boundary of
Everglades National Park and follows the western shoreline of
Manatee Bay, Barnes Sound, and Card Sound;
(f) then follows the southern boundary of Biscayne National Park
to the southeasternmost point of Biscayne National Park; and
(g) then follows the eastern boundary of Biscayne National Park
to the beginning point specified in paragraph (a).
(2) The shoreward boundary of the Florida Keys National Marine
Sanctuary is the mean high-water mark except around the Dry
Tortugas where the boundary is coterminous with that of the Dry
Tortugas National Park, formed by connecting in succession the
points at the following coordinates:
(a) 24 degrees 34 minutes 0 seconds north latitude, 82 degrees
54 minutes 0 seconds west longitude;
(b) 24 degrees 34 minutes 0 seconds north latitude, 82 degrees
58 minutes 0 second west longitude;
(c) 24 degrees 39 minutes 0 seconds north latitude, 82 degrees
58 minutes 0 seconds west longitude;
(d) 24 degrees 43 minutes 0 seconds north latitude, 82 degrees
54 minutes 0 seconds west longitude;
(e) 24 degrees 43 minutes 32 seconds north latitude, 82 degrees
52 minutes 0 seconds west longitude;
(f) 24 degrees 43 minutes 32 seconds north latitude, 82 degrees
48 minutes 0 seconds west longitude;
(g) 24 degrees 42 minutes 0 seconds north latitude, 82 degrees
46 minutes, 0 seconds west longitude;
(h) 24 degrees 40 minutes 0 seconds north latitude, 82 degrees
46 minutes 0 seconds west longitude;
(i) 24 degrees 37 minutes 0 seconds north latitude, 82 degrees
48 minutes 0 seconds west longitude; and
(j) 24 degrees 34 minutes 0 seconds north latitude, 82 degrees
54 minutes 0 seconds west longitude.
(3) The Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary also includes the
area located within the boundary formed by connecting in succession
the points at the following coordinates:
(a) 24 degrees 33 minutes north latitude, 83 degrees 09 minutes
west longitude,
(b) 24 degrees 33 minutes north latitude, 83 degrees 05 minutes
west longitude, and
(c) 24 degrees 18 minutes north latitude, 83 degrees 05 minutes
west longitude;
(d) 24 degrees 18 minutes north latitude, 83 degrees 09 minutes
west longitude; and
(e) 24 degrees 33 minutes north latitude, 83 degrees 09 minutes
west longitude.
