              peace, and conspire against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy,
              more selfish than bureaucracy. I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble
              for the safety of my country. Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption will follow & the money power

                    the queen conch seasonal closure from 3 months to 5 months, and prohibit fishing for & possession of queen conch in

                    St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, when harvest and possession of queen conch is prohibited in St. Croix territorial waters
                    as a result of a territorial quota closure. The intended effects of this proposed rule are to prevent additional fishing

                    Protecting Wild Dolphins! from Sonar effects testing, Ship hits & Oil spills?   
                    Update November 2011: 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
                    researchers at NOAA, Cascadia Research, Duke University, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, Scripps Institution
                    of Oceanography... & Navy researchers."  Editor's Note on Gulf Oil Spill as well as the continued 'take/sonar testing'
                    off of FL in Bahamas area (in addition to Southern California tests) & OceanSafe.org response: We applaud all
                    efforts to protect Marine Mammals! However NOAA states; "Although severely limited in our continued ability to
                    move dolphins out of their natural habitats in response to the oil spill"...OceanSafe.org as well as other orgs believe
                    that most of the dolphins can be relocated to 'safe wild areas'  that are in 'Non-Sonar Testing Take Areas' in the
                    Bahamas & other Caribbean locations - funds are an excuse?  -Also Note: the term'Take' refers to harming & death
                    to these creatures. Oil Sllicks? ...as Capt. 'CB' King said to KWR Reporter: "It is not the right type of Conch Cook'n Oil

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.

          "NOAA Fisheries seeks public comment on an amendment developed by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery
                Management Council to set annual catch limits for reef fish, red drum, shrimp, & coral fisheries of the Gulf of Mexico.
                The amendment proposes to: • Revise the species in need of federal management. • Establish standard mechanisms
                by which to set o allowable biological catch (a level of harvest intended prevent overfishing) o annual catch limits
                (highest level of landing that is acceptable to maintain adequate stock size), and o annual catch targets (acceptable
                levels of landings that provide a buffer, if needed, for management uncertainty). • Set those catch limits & targets. •
                Modify procedures that would allow more timely implementation of management actions. • Establish accountability
                measures, which adjust catches in-season or in future years to maintain harvests at or less than the annual catch limits.
                Comments must be received no later than 5 p.m., Eastern time, on Nov. 25, 2011... info @ noaa.gov"  -OceanSafe.org

           Billfish & Grouper Info! "Growing Hypoxic Zones Reduce Habitat for Billfish & Tuna"...
                important commercial and recreational fish species, may be more vulnerable to fishing pressure because of shrinking
                habitat according to a new study published by scientists from NOAA, the Billfish Foundation, and the University of
                Miami. An expanding zone of low oxygen, known as a hypoxic zone, in the Atlantic Ocean is encroaching on these
                species’ preferred oxygen-abundant habitat, forcing them into shallower waters where they are more likely to be
                caught. Higher catch rates from these areas may give the false appearance of more abundant fish stocks. While
                hypoxic zones occur naturally in many areas of the world’s tropical and equatorial oceans, scientists are concerned
                because these zones are expanding and occurring closer to the sea surface, and are expected to continue to grow as
                sea temperatures rise... & Grouper Quotas!: NOAA Establishes Annual Catch Limits for Some South Atlantic Snappers
                and Groupers on December 29, 2010, NOAA Fisheries announced a final rule establishing annual catch limits designed
                to prevent excessive fishing pressure on nine species of snappers and groupers. The rule becomes effective on Jan. 31,
                2011, and applies to federal waters off North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida’s Atlantic coast. The rule
                also prohibits the harvest of six deepwater snapper and grouper species in depths beyond 240 feet, and reduces the
                recreational bag limit of snowy grouper to one fish per vessel per day. The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council
                recommended these actions to the fisheries service earlier this year... info @ NOAA   & reports by -KeysFishJournal.com

2012 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.   Lack of El Nino will be  a factor  for 2010 season.  Renowned hurricane forecaster Dr. C. King predicts that El Nino will be dormant this year with major hurricane being 12 - Dr. King said "Come September I will drink a lot of Hulacanes ä "  (note: a Hulacane ä is a fresh Rum concoction that was invented by Dr. Kotas for Ernest in 1937 - Hulacane ä TradeMark porperty of Key West Institute since 1939)"
