Florida Administrative Code › 68 - FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION › 68C - Manatees › Chapter 68C-22 - THE FLORIDA MANATEE SANCTUARY ACT › Section 68C-22.014 - Manatee County Zones

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) The
				Commission hereby designates the waters within Manatee County, as described
				below, as areas where manatee sightings are frequent and where the best
				available information supports the conclusion that manatees inhabit these areas
				on a regular or periodic basis. The primary purpose of this rule is to protect
				manatees from harmful collisions with motorboats and from harassment by
				regulating the speed and operation of motorboats within these designated areas.
				A secondary purpose is to protect manatee habitat. In consideration of
				balancing the rights of fishers, boaters, and water skiers to use the waters of
				the state for recreational and commercial purposes (as applicable under Section
				370.12(2)(k),
				F.S.) with the need to provide manatee protection, the Commission has examined
				the need for limited lanes, corridors, or unregulated areas that allow higher
				speeds through or within regulated areas. Such lanes, corridors, or areas are
				provided in those locations where the Commission determined that they are
				consistent with manatee protection needs.
(2) The following zones are established,
				which include all associated and navigable tributaries, lakes, creeks, coves,
				bends, backwaters, canals, and boat basins unless otherwise designated or
				excluded. As used in this rule, ICW means the Intracoastal Waterway.

				waters of the waterway commonly referred to as "Snead Cut" (connecting Terra
				Ceia Bay and the Manatee River) northeast of the northern shoreline of the
