Florida Bay Management
• Protect areas at risk of scarring with pole/troll and
pole/troll/idle zones based on science and expert
on-the-water knowledge of where boats can be
operated with reduced likelihood of damaging
seagrass beds and other shallow water habitats
(See Florida Bay Management Zones detail map)
• Marking of pole/troll/idle zones would be mimimal,
with reliance instead on navigation skills, GPS, and
marine charts
• Boat channels/access routes that exist now
would remain
• Mandatory education/permit program for boaters
and increased enforcement presence
