Looe Key

The History Of Looe Key

The Looe Key Reef in Florida is only 5.3 sq. nautical miles, but is home a wide variety of both coral structure and marine life. Looe Key has been treasured as one of the special places in the Florida Keys and was given special protection in 1981 when it was officially named as a national Marine Sanctuary. Ever since, spearfishing, coral collection, and even lobstering are illegal in Looe Key, and as a result there are now large schools of friendly fish and a gorgeous coral reef
