Notes

Scope and Content:
The five scenario planning workshops in the Florida Keys in June 2008 were recorded verbatim and proved a rich source. Participants were sent a preliminary list of main issues in October 2008, and again in June 2009. Further analysis shows that there are two types of issues though there are clear overlaps and connections between them: 1. Primary issues (hard‐to‐shift forces): climate change, water supply, carrying capacity, and external pollution and other influences from outside the Keys. The primary issues are described from the workshop proceedings in Sections 1 to 4 below. 2. Issues under potential local control: reef health, sustainability and fisheries; pollution control; the economy, including tourism and economic diversification; and education and outreach. See Sections 5 to 8. The five workshop locations are listed from north to south (Key Largo to Key West).
