The Florida Keys are an incredible destination for travelers the world over.
That being said, it is imperative, that in order to maintain this tropical paradise, we as locals, and visitors alike adhere to a few "Keymandments".
I saw this great list of directives on the Florida Keys and Keys West website at
fla-keys.com, geared at educating our valued visitors on the protocols to Keys living and conservation:
‘Ten Keymandments’ for Keys Travelers
While the Bible's Ten Commandments
advise people what not to do, these "10 Keymandments" are designed to
guide visitors in what you CAN do to have meaningful, memorable vacations while
respecting and helping preserve the Florida Keys environment.

Plant
a coral (or adopt one of the cute little
things, but don't touch them on the reef).
Use
a mooring buoy at dive sites.
(save your back and leave the anchor alone).
Support
the wildlife (volunteer food, funds or time to a
local wild bird center).
Take
out the trash (especially if it’s floating in the
water).
Capture
a lionfish (any time and any size — we can
show you how).
Leave
a digital footprint (share pictures with fans, friends
and followers).
Hike
it, bike it or hoof it (it’s low
on eco-impact and high on fresh tropical air).
Catch
dinner (and release all the fish you know
you can’t eat).
Conserve
vs. consume (reduce, reuse and recycle even on
vacation).
Get
off the beaten path (you can hike, bike, walk, kayak or
paddleboard along Keys trails).
Make sure to do your part to keep our Keys pristine!
Put the experience and expertise of The Conchquistador to work for you!
