East Bahia Honda Key and the nearby Hardup Key occupy a tranquil expanse where the Gulf of Mexico meets Florida Bay. This marine environment is defined by submerged features and shallow flats, such as Bullard Bank and Elbow Bank, which dictate the local navigation and ecology of the Lower Keys. The East Bahia Honda Channel provides a vital deep-water passage through these shoals, connecting the open gulf to the protected waters of the bay. This 2012 survey by the U. S. Geological Survey focuses on the delicate interface of land and sea, documenting the natural boundaries of these uninhabited keys and the shifting undersea topography of Red Bay Bank.
