Hawk Channel is a shallow, elongated basin and navigable passage along the Atlantic coast of the Florida Keys. The channel makes up a smaller portion of the Florida Platform from Key West to the southernmost point of Key Biscayne and lies between the Keys and the Florida Reef Tract to the southeast.[1] It connects the waters of the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean through tidal exchanges crossing from the Florida Bay to the Straits of Florida. [2][3][4]
It extends roughly 230 km (200 nautical miles; 143 statute miles) from Fowey Rocks, off Key Biscayne, to Sand Key, off Key West. Its width ranges from approximately 10 km (5 nautical miles; 6 statute miles) to ¼ of a mile wide at its narrowest part.[5][6] It varies in depth from 7 to 8 meters off the Upper Keys along the center of the channel to 12 to 15 meters off the Middle and Lower Keys. A course in Hawk Channel roughly 2 miles offshore is partially protected by the deepwater of the Straits of Florida allows vessels drawing roughly 7 to 10 feet to avoid the adverse currents of the Gulf Stream while crossing through the Keys.[7][8][9]
