Due to the approach of Tropical Storm Noel, currently forecast to pass near or over southeast Florida on Thursday, the park has put its hurricane plan into effect. All park facilities (including those on Boca Chita, Elliott and Adams Keys), the mainland area at Convoy Point, boat tours, and visitor services were shut down yesterday afternoon. Park waters, though, will remain open for vessel transit. The closure will remain in effect until further notice. The park is also securing and shuttering buildings and moving its entire fleet of boats (over 20 vessels) to an inland location.
