Fort Jefferson at Dry Tortugas Home to Seven Park Service Staff
At Fort Jefferson on Garden Key in the Dry Tortugas, seven National Park Service employees live with two resident spouses in a remote 19th century coastal fortress. Park Manager Larry Teague and ranger Tim Herman greet visitors as preservation rules protect 47,000 acres of sea and land while monks of wildlife, including 20,000 sooty terns at Bush Key, raise their young before long migrations to West Africa.
