Florida Keys Patch Reefs Images now blurred and unusable for

The 2/9/23 imagery recently "updated"  of the Florida Keys has completely blurred out the 15 to 20 mile off shore clear views of the patch reefs. coral structures and channels that hundreds, maybe thousands of us here in the Keys use to plan fishing and diving trips. The old images were great but the new images are terrible. Everything is blurred out and one cannot make out any detail at all. This is a disaster for us down here because we use GE to navigate and plan our trips as well as find new places to explore. Will these patches of blurred out geography be replaced with crispy images as before? Does anyone have any recommendations as to how we can get the old offshore imagery back or replaced with clearer imagery? Thanks

Hi chieftomoka and welcome to the board!

The best subforum would have been the 'Data discussions' to post your question, also this 'Oceans and Seas' is pretty fine. Your duplicate post on 'Earth Browsing' also got a reply so now I let it, but please avoid such duplicates in the future! ( ;

I have checked imagery on GMaps and both on desktop and web Google Earth, still cannot detect the problem you mentioned...
Good resolution imagery available on all three for a 6-10 miles strip off-shores, with shoals and reefs clearly visible all along.

Would you please provide placemark(s) or coordinates of the exact places which were affected by the imagery update and where the mentioned problem occurs?
Then we may take a deeper look into those shallow waters, you miss so much from imagery. ( ;

Although it is not very convenient, Google Earth Pro has a historical imagery database that allows you to revert the changes and see past satellite data.

Alternatively, you can check and see if other mapping programs like Bing Maps have crisper imagery. Wishing the best for you, I used to love the Florida Keys' imagery when I was researching shipwrecks, sad to see it go.
