Larger zones have more buoys so that the lines are easy to understand. Do Not tie your boats to the Yellow boundary buoys. The NO TAKE Zones in the Lower Keys at Sand Key, Rock Key, Eastern Dry Rocks, are all small well defined areas. When inside of the No Take zones fishing Equipment should be removed from deck and secured below. Hawk Channel It is not my intention to discourage anyone from visiting the Keys.
Locals are just as likely to be inspected or get a ticket.
I would believe it was because Monroe County and the Florida Keys Lead Florida In Boating Accidents and Boating Deaths.
