Thanks Larry,
Your diligent effort to keep the mangroves in Key Largo clean is laudable.
I salute you!
And the pictures are great too 🙂

Hey every little bit helps.
I do a little clean up if I come across trash.
But that’s big, what ever that thing is. 🙂
Tight lines and MoPaddle Safe all.

Impressive, isn’t it? 😀
Looks like a good size mooring buoy.

Rox and Yoav,
This is my third Federal buoy that I have brought in from the mangroves. The first one took a month and a half for someone to pick it up.
The yellow ball signifies a sanctuary boundary. Sanctuaries define No Fishing or Lobstering areas which help replenish seafood populations. This buoy has a big gouge, likely from a prop strike, and will probably cost more for the Feds to fix than secure a new one.
Providing sanctuary zones is a really good way to reduce user conflicts between divers and fishermen as well as increasing fish stocks. However,those areas should be designed with a great degree of common sense which is often uncommon in places controlled by Congress.
But, lately, things have been getting a lot better…
