Datum and source
Heights on this page are feet above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero NOAA's nautical charts use for soundings. A predicted 0.0 ft low is the average of the lower low each day; a minus tide is water below chart datum, and a 2 ft high means 2 ft more water than the chart shows. NOAA fixes MLLW at Key Biscayne Yacht Club, Biscayne Bay from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 2.2 ft above it and mean sea level 1.1 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Key Colony Beach, FL gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8723232, established 1980, gauge removed 1993.
