Florida Is Home to the Only Coral Reef in the Continental U.S.
Most people think of Florida for its beaches and theme parks, but it’s also home to the only living coral barrier reef in the continental United States.
- Known as the Florida Reef Tract, it stretches about 360 miles from the Dry Tortugas near Key West all the way up to Martin County.
- This reef is the third-largest in the world, after the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the Mesoamerican Reef in the Caribbean.
- Sadly, it\'s disappearing fast — scientists estimate that up to 90% of the coral cover has been lost due to disease, hurricanes, and warming oceans.
🌊 Fun twist: The reef is so massive that early Spanish explorers mistook it for a “river of stones” beneath the water, inspiring Florida’s nickname, “The Sunshine State with a hidden underwater treasure.”
