RESOLUTION 91-20320 RESOLUTION NO. 91-20320
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI
BEACH, FLORIDA, URGING THE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL
RESOURCES, THE GOVERNOR, AND HIS CABINET TO SET ASIDE THE
METROPOLITAN DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONER'S RESOLUTION NO. R-571-91, IN FAVOR OF THE
ALTERNATIVE PROPOSAL AS PROVIDED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF
ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT FOR SEASONAL SPEED
LIMIT RESTRICTIONS.
Be it resolved by the City Commission of the City of Miami
Beach, Florida, that
Whereas, the use of Biscayne Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway
(ICW) serve as both home to the West Indian Manatee, and a vital
recreational resource which supports an entire marine industry in
Dade County; and
Whereas, the marine industry as well as the recreational
boaters have recognized the importance of implementing a vessel
restriction that will help to save the manatee and reduce boating
accidents; and
Whereas, the Department of Environmental Resources Management
(DERM) has provided alternate plans to the more restrictive ones
approved and recommended by the Metropolitan Dade County
Commission, which environmentalists and researchers from the
University of Miami have agreed would still provide a high degree
of protection for the Manatee and would provide safety benefits for
the boating public as well, while still permitting boaters to
travel at a reasonable speed and to enjoy waterskiing at specific
locations during the most popular boating season; and
Whereas, the City Commission of the City of Miami Beach is
interested in protecting the rights of both the West Indian Manatee
and the commercial establishments that rely on the ICW and Biscayne
Bay for their livelihood, i .e. boat rental companies, fuel docks
and marinas, restaurants on the water, jet ski and para-sail
operators as well as commercial fishing vessels and boat
manufacturers; and
Whereas, the City Commission strongly believes that the vessel
restrictions as recommended by the County Commission will tempt
owners of small craft, (25 f t. and under) which make up the vast
majority of registered boats in Dade County to attempt to negotiate
the treacherous waters in Government cut out into the ocean in
order to either save travel time or to enjoy waterskiing, which we
fear will result in tragic and unnecessary loss of human life; and
Whereas, a compromise position acceptable to both
environmentalists and the vast boating community already exists
which meets the objectives of the County Commission resolution.
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the City Commission of the
City of Miami Beach, Florida, that it urges the Department of
Natural Resources, The Governor, and His Cabinet to set aside
Metropolitan Dade County, Florida Board of County Commission
Resolution No. R-571-91, in favor of the alternative proposal
provided by DERM for seasonal speed limit restrictions.
Passed and adopted this 19th day of June 1991 .

RE: TRANSMITTAL OF DADE COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONER'S
RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF VESSEL
RESTRICTIONS FOR MANATEE PROTECTION 'AND BOATING SAFETY.
Dear Ms. McVety:
Following the Governor and Cabinet' s request of 13 counties,
Dade County being one; our Department of Environment Resources
Management (DERM) , pursued the collection of a scientific data
base upon which to base conclusions regarding manatees and the
areas within our waterways where they frequent, their
injuries/mortality and boating activity.
After approximately 2 years of this effort DERM issued. its
recommendations (attached memo from Manager) designed
basically t0 provide the highest degree of protection for
manatees in those areas where the documentation clearly
established congregation or travel corridors. While not
recommending them, DERM outlined alternatives, including
relaxingthe speed restrictions from May to October, reducing
the limited entry zone in the Coral Gables Waterway, and
providing for summer water skiing areas • in North Bay.
After a public hearing, the Board approved the attached
Resolution basically taking the same. position that DERM took
in its recommendation. The Board found that current
procedures allowed for DNR to grant exemptions to commercial
fishermen, fishing guides and boat manufacturers after a
proper showing. In addition, the Board found that the DERM
plan did provide a minimally restricted north/south route on
the east side of the Bay. These were factors which it was
felt provided a degree of relief for the boating community
where justified.
The plight of the manatee and the growing number of boating
accidents involving human injury and/or fatality is more than
coincidental. The manatee is providing us with a valuable
warning regarding our own safety--much like the "Miner's
Canary" who warns the miner when he' s in too deep.

In closing,osin I believe that Dade County's recommended vessel
manateeprotection and boater safety afford
restrictions for the manatee a high degree of year-round protection in the
waters of Dade County and are reflective of Dade County's
commitment to
the stewardship of imperiled species such as the
West Indian
Manatee. Should you have any specific questions
regarding this proposal, please feel free to contact Dr. Susan

It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners adopt
the attached resolution, which recommends that the Florida
Department of Natural Resources ( FDNR) establish specific
vessel speed resrictions for Dade County waters for the
P
.p
rotec•tion of manatees and to improve boating safety. This
recommendation, which has been developed in response to- a
mandate from the Florida Governor and Cabinet, has been
reviewed and placed on the agenda at the request of the
Environment and Land Use Committee . . .•• - -
BACKGROUND
In October 1989 , the Florida Governor and Cabinet directed 13
counties , including Dade , to develop comprehensive manatee
protection plans . Because vessel collisions are the leading
cause of human-related manatee death statewide , the Florida
Department of Natural Resources ( FDNR) has placed priority on
the development of vessel speed limits and related
restrictions to protect manatees and their habitats . The
State is now preparing a vessel speed rule for Dade and is
avaiting a formal recommendation from the Dade County Board of
g •
County Commissioners . The FDNR desires to! conduct hearings
andP resent the rule to the Governor and Cabinet for final
consideration this summer.
Pursuant to the State mandate , the Department of Environmental
Resources Management (DERM) has been collecting data on
manatee distribution and mortality and boating activities in
Dade County. Based on the scientific data available, DERM has
identified areas frequented by manatees and has proposed
vessel speed limits and • sanctuary • zones to protect these
areas . Year-round "slow speed/minimum wake" zones recommended
by DERM include tributaries , 1 , 000-foot-wide shoreline buffer
zones in most of north Biscayne Bay and portions of south
Biscayne Bay, and several lakes and canals in north Dade
(vessels traveling at "slow speed/minimum wake" must not make
excessive wake or be on plane ; for most vessels , this is
approximately 7-8 miles per hour ) . DERM has recommended slow
speed limits for portions of the Intracoastal Waterway - ( ICW)
where several different sources of data showed that manatees
occur frequently or where vessel-related mortality was

of the proposal involve speed limits on the ICW, waterskiing in north Biscayne Bay, and limited entry

October, however, the vessel May through speed limit
would
be 30 mph in the ICW and selected
traditional
waterskiing areas. To address safety, noise and congestion

concerns, a 30 mph
channels is not otherwise restricted. Although this approach
would provide somewhat less protection for manatees, it would
allow boaters
to travel at a reasonable speed, enjoy
waterskiingmany
at locations during the most popular boating
season, and provide some boating safety benefits.
These proposed vessel restrictions, which should save human
lives , as well as protect manatees and their habitats , were
reviewed jointly the Environment and Land Use Committee and
by apublic hearing on
the Biscayne Bay Management Committee at 31 , 1991 . After receiving public comment and considering
May
alternative staff proposals, these committees recommended that
the Board of , County Commissioners approve DERM' s more
•
restrictive March 26 proposal and modified this plan to
include additional "slow speed" areas to protect seagrass beds
north and
south of Julia Tuttle Causeway. Maps depicting
the recommended vessel restrictions are attached as Exhibit 1 .
Additional public hearings will be held locally during the
a
state rulemaking process.

Commission Memorandum Page 2 June 19, 1991
The Administration believes that the proposed restrictions would
create an undue burden, both on the boating public and the marine
industry. Also, they will force vessels wishing to transit
Biscayne Bay to use the Meloy Channel, which parallels the Miami
Beach coastline, and was not designated to handle the amount of
traffic that would result.
Therefore, we are recommending that the FDNR review the proposal as
submitted by the Dade County Commission, and adopt the seasonal
recommendation that DERM proposed, which would be acceptable to
both the boating public and the environmentalists. This approach
would provide somewhat less protection for the manatees, it would
allow boaters to travel at reasonable speed during the most popular
boating season, and still provide some boating safety benefits.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
The City Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt
the attached resolution urging the Florida Department of Natural
Resources to reconsider the proposed restrictions submitted by Dade
County and adopt the less restrictive alternative proposed by the
Department of Environmental Resources Management.
