Water skiers and jet ski operators might want to consider the 22-mile Tsala Apopka Chain of Lakes instead of the coastal rivers or Gulf of Mexico. Always be aware of tides and weather. Use extra caution in high use areas and always be aware of what's going on around you. Do not consume alcohol or drugs while operating a boat. Be mindful of your wake when passing shorelines or other boats.
Waves cause shorelines to erode and stir up sediment that impede sea grass growth and survival.
Properly dispose of bilge water, holding tank waste, and old fuels and oils. Never discharge these materials into our public waterways. Always clean you boat, motor and props of vegetation to avoid spreading hydrilla, hyacinths, and other nuisance plants into other water bodies. Leave No Litter. Bring a trash bag with you and please recycle whenever possible.
