Teall, Russell 'Russ' (c. 1950 - present)

Russell 'Russ' Teall (c. 1950 - present) is a Marathon, Florida-based cartographer and producer of multiple guides and tide charts in the 1980s and 1990s. He is also the founder of the non-profit Florida Keys Marine Sanctuaries, Inc., which was founded with the mission of establishing a sanctuary over Sombrero Reef, and later to placing mooring buoys and producing educational materials about non-sanctuary reefs. Teall's organization was one of several that successfully pressed the federal government to establish the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, designated in 1990, which protects some 2,900 square nautical miles of ocean and coastal waters.
