A couple of months ago, I was on a cruise in the western Caribbean, and we snorkeled off Honduras, where the reef was just awe-inspiring, bright and vibrant and colorful, with fan corals and brain corals and lots of textures and colors. Eager for another experience like that, we went snorkeling again a week later, off Key West. The difference was night and day. There were still lots of fish around, but the reef itself was just so many gray humps.

Right off of Key West, the reefs have been severely impacted. The Dry Tortugas reefs are in the best shape of the Florida Keys reefs; the reefs off the Lower Keys that are still largely uninhabited are also in fair shape, but I wouldn't call it good.
