Unit 2 Discussion We are fortunate to have one the most studied currents right off our

doorstep, the Gulf Stream or more specifically in our region of South Florida,

it is actually called the Florida Current. The reason for such intense

academic interest is that Gulf Stream is immensely important globally,

regionally as well as locally. Do some research on the Gulf Stream and

Florida Current to learn about its importance, such as how it works, who it

affects and how, what it affects, where it comes from and where it flow to,

and on what levels it affects the global, regional, and local environment. You

are not expected to find all this informa#on, but rather to give you a basic

understanding about the features of the Gulf Stream / Florida Current. For

this topic:

1. Watch the YouTube Video: The Gulf Stream Explained (5:03).

2. Iden#fy and describe one these features of the Current and indicate

whether it is of global, regional, or local importance. It is also possible

to be any combina#on of the three. Be sure to describe how it is of

global, regional, and / or local importance.
