                           Creates problems in Keys... when placed in the seagrass beds of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, would
                           be the perfect home for the spiny lobster (absent the picket fence). But this artificial habitat makes easy pickings for
                           poachers to harvest thousands of lobsters a day, & it’s destroying the seagrass beds & hardbottom communities that
                           lobsters, fish, and other marine life need to survive. Enforcement of casitas has been a top management priority for
                           Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary for a number of years. NOAA law enforcers have removed more than 2,000
                           of these illegal structures. While the actual number of illegal casitas is unknown, there are reliable estimates that as
                           many as 20,000 have been placed throughout the Sanctuary and adjacent waters. this info provided by NOAA.

                           recent sightings of non-native Asian tiger shrimp off the U.S. Atlantic & Gulf of Mexico coasts has government scientists
                           working to determine the cause of the increase and the possible consequences for native fish and seafood in those
                           waters. Researchers from the U.S. Geological Survey and National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration are working
                           with state agencies from North Carolina to Texas to look into how this transplanted species from Indo-Pacific, Asian &
                           Australian waters reached U.S. waters, and what the increase in sightings means for native species. NOAA scientists are
                           launching a research effort to understand more about the biology of these shrimp & how they may affect the ecology
                           of native fisheries and coastal ecosystems. As with all non-native species, there are concerns over the potential for novel
                           avenues of disease transmission and competition with native shrimp stocks, especially given the high growth rates &
                           spawning rates compared with other species."  See NOAA.org for more info... & Lionfish continue to menace  the Keys!

                           Updates Nov '21: "Study Shows Some Gulf Dolphins Severely Ill"... Bottlenose dolphins in Barataria Bay, Louisiana,
                           are showing signs of severe ill health, according to NOAA marine mammal biologists and their local, state, federal &
                           other research partners. Barataria Bay, located in the northern Gulf of Mexico, received heavy & prolonged exposure
                           to oil during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.  Based on comprehensive physicals of 32 live dolphins from Barataria Bay
                           in the past summers, preliminary results show that many of the dolphins in the study are underweight, anemic, have
                           low blood sugar and/or some symptoms of liver and lung disease. Nearly half also have abnormally low levels of the
                           hormones that help with stress response, metabolism and immune function. Researchers fear that some of the study
                           dolphins are in such poor health that they will not survive. ...NOAA and its local, state and federal partners started
                           the Barataria Bay dolphin study in past as part of the Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA), the process for
                           studying the effects of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. NOAA is sharing the preliminary results from the study so that

                           Update Jan 2021... In past: as per NOAA Finds Bacterial Infection as Cause of Death for 5 Northern Gulf Dolphins;
                           Investigation Continues ...Pathology experts contracted by NOAA have identified the bacteria Brucella in five
                           bottlenose dolphins that died in the northern Gulf of Mexico. These five are among the 580 dolphins in higher than
                           expected strandings that began in February 2010 and are continuing. NOAA has declared it an “unusual mortality
                           event,” triggering a focused, expert investigation into the cause. NOAA is working with a team of marine mammal
                           health experts, including veterinarians, epidemiologists, biologists & toxicologists, to investigate the cause of death
                           for as many of the 580 dolphins as possible.  ...Brucella are commonly found in populations of marine & terrestrial
                           animals throughout the world, but infection in humans is rare in the U.S., and there are no documented U.S. cases
                           of Brucella in humans originating from marine sources. NOAA advises anyone who sees a stranded dolphin in the
                           Gulf of Mexico region to call 1-877-Whale Help (877.942.5343). The stranded dolphin should not be touched, and
                           pets should be kept away from the dolphin as well.  In addition, cooking seafood kills the Brucella bacterium, and
                           as there have been only 3cases globally linking Brucella infection to consumption of raw seafood, there is minimal
                           risk of exposure to humans through seafood consumption.  ...& Past Dolphin News: "NOAA scientists participate in
                           the Behavioral Response Study of Cetaceans to Navy Sonar, Southern California Scientists from NOAA's Southwest
                           Fisheries Science Center are participating in a Navy sponsored study known as SOCAL-10, Biological and Behavioral
                           Response Studies of Marine Mammals in Southern California. SOCAL-10 is designed to measure the response of
                           cetaceans to Navy mid-frequency sonar and, potentially, other sounds sources.  This project is a collaboration with

"Some Where Over the Rainbow"?... Key West Register supports all citizens getting involved in the Keys governance process...  It is time to be 'Economically Correct' and to grab the rainbow with the pot of gold for the future of FloridaKeys.US... here are suggestions in a 'coconut shell'... in Key West Duval Area: close Duval St. to traffic and make it pedestrian friendly in evenings (or 24/7 ?)... add some tropical greenery on Duval Street?... stagger visitor traffic from cruise ships to different 'dropoffs'... create 'Conchvilleä Steel Drum Ambassador Performers' to meet the cruise ships... (yes-they could distribute coupons too!)... & Truman Waterfront development? -make whole design an 'Upscale Small Street Village' with residential, shops, dining & entertainment... the future dictates that the time has passed for non-revenue producing albatrosses ... all Truman Waterfront decisions should be made on 'commercial basis methods'... & smile conut palms and place large five foot terra cotta pots along U.S.1... cleanup the 'Lady' (African Queen) and make her a shrine & festival... slow traffic to 30 mph & smile more!  Islamorada: enrich off synergies... acquire properties across from Worldwide Sportsman all the way down to Green Turtle Inn & make a mini park area honoring Sportfishing (large bronze sailfish)... make that region a pedestrian area & incentives for adjacent merchant property investments... attempt more locals to 'think pink' & paint more buildings pink (of course 'morada' tambien) & smile more!  Marathon: place new quality 'Welcome' signage of 'large stone material' at City limits... Marathon Airport? -solicit a restaurateur of 'Keys Cuisine' & promote even for car travelers going farther south... vegetation needed as well as 7 Mile Bridge notations throughout the city (Bridge to Keys Heaven!) & smile more! Lower Keys-Big Pine: simply, a small bronze of a Key Deer & 'Family Park Stop' adjacent to U.S.1... & smile more! "Times are chang'n"... make sure the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is 'banked' in the FloridaKeys.US!... & smile more!... “Well, I reckon I got to light out for the territory ahead of the rest because Aunt Sally she's going to adopt me and civilize me and I can't stand it. I  been there before.”

                        2024/5 Season El Niño & La Niña factor? El Niño is a disruption of the ocean-atmosphere system in the tropical Pacific that has
                        consequences for weather around the globe. Among its effects are increased rainfall across the southern tier of the United
                        States, destructive flooding in Peru, drought in the western Pacific and devastating brush fires in Australia. In Florida, El Niño
                        brings relief from drought conditions by dropping extra rain in the winter as well as creating upper level winds in the summer
                        that tend to cut down on the number of tropical storms.  Returning of El Niño will be a factor for 2024 season? Renowned
                        hurricane forecaster Dr. C. King predicts that El Niño will not be dormant this year with major hurricane being 9 - Dr. King said
                        "Come September I will drink a lot of Hulacanes "  (note: a Hulacane is a fresh Rum concoction that was invented by
                                                                 Dr. Kotas for Ernest in 1937 - Hulacane (a TradeMark porperty of Key West Institute since 1939)"
