Fowey Rocks

Fowey Rocks are a series of dangerous coral reefs located off the coast of Florida, near Key Biscayne. They are submerged formations that pose navigation hazards to ships and boats. To warn sailors, the U.S. built the Fowey Rocks Lighthouse in 1954, which helps guide vessels safely around the reefs. The area is known for strong currents and shifting sands, making it a challenging area for navigation. Protecting these reefs is important for marine life, as they serve as habitats for various fish and coral species, and their preservation helps maintain healthy ocean ecosystems.
