Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (designated on 16 November 1990; it protects 4,539 square miles)
It is named after the British frigate HMS Looe, which ran aground there in 1744. It was a national marine sanctuary in its own right from January 1981, before being absorbed into the Keys sanctuary in 1990.
