In rereading this, I realize that I what I wrote is confusing.  The 
Keys are completely *protected* -- NO swinging a net there or you 
will get more than a ticket.  Any of these areas are, of course, 
open to appropriate faunal studies, but you must first apply and get 
a permit from the appropriate agencies.
