Rare photographs
that capture the beauty of a unique ecological treasure An
immersive journey into the stunning beauty, rich biodiversity, and fragile
ecosystems of Dry Tortugas National Park, this book combines captivating photographs
with insightful narratives to highlight a remote archipelago that has profound
ecological significance. Accessible only by seaplane or boat, located
70 miles west of Key West and part of UNESCO's World Network
of Biosphere Reserves, the park includes seven enchanting islands and--with 99
percent of the park being underwater--a treasure trove of marine life. Through
the lens of conservation photographer Ian Wilson-Navarro, readers will discover
lush seagrass beds, vibrant coral reefs, and mesmerizing turquoise waters that
are difficult for the public to visit. The book's nearly 200 color images are
accompanied by essays by Sarah Fangman, Cori Convertito, Curtis Hall, and Nancy
Klingener, individuals with intimate knowledge of the park who explore its history,
culture, and environment. They elucidate the complex relationships between
nature and humanity that have long existed in the Dry Tortugas and emphasize
the importance of preserving both historic structures such as Fort Jefferson on
Garden Key and the undisturbed habitats that allow countless wildlife species
to flourish. From
graceful green sea turtles and magnificent frigatebirds to intricate coral
formations and spectacular starry skies, the photographs in Dry Tortugas
inspire awe and appreciation for an environmental sanctuary that serves as a
baseline for Florida Keys ecology during a time of accelerating climate change for
the planet. Educational and emotionally resonant, this book is a powerful
testament to the park's allure and its incredibly special natural wonders. Funding for this publication was
provided through a grant from Florida Humanities with funds from the National
Endowment for the Humanities. Any views, findings, conclusions, or
recommendations expressed in this publication do not necessarily represent
those of Florida Humanities or the National Endowment for the Humanities.
