2009 Session Legislative Proposal and Draft 4 of Draft Language Concepts
Vessel vlanagement -Anchoring and Mooring
Submitted by Division of Law Enforcement
Dear Chairman and Members of the Commission and FWC staff:
This letter provides preliminary comments to the 2009 Session Legislative
Proposal ("Proposal") and Dtaft 4 of statutory amendment language referred to as Draft
Language Concepts dated approximately September 2, 2008 (`'Draft") concerning
amending State law on anchoring and mooring, circulated and posted by staff of the Fish
and Wildlife Conservation Commission ("FWC").
The City would like to first thank the FWC staff and other interested persons for
addressing this issue, which has presented problems and about which disputes have arisen
between the rights of boaters and riparian landowners for many years. The result has
been local governments attempting to mediate these disputes through the adoption of
local legislation and enforcement activity. The City reco~izes that this has created
disparate rules across the State, and realizes that one solution is to establish a statewide
set of rules that can be applied uniformly, with appropriate notice to affected boaters and
landowners. This appears to be what the Proposal acid Dram aze seeking to accomplish,
with some recognition to the unique circumstances that a local community may have.
The City believes that the Draft takes an important first step in trying to resolve these
issues. However, the City believes that further consideration needs to be given to the
affect that some members of the boating community have had on riparian landowners and
the unique circumstances existing in communities azound the State. Further, amending
state law will not address the abuse of the exercise of rights provided thereunder.
Unfortunately the coexistence that is needed between boaters and riparian landowners
can only happen whin the exercise of rights provided is accomplished reasonably with
due regard to the rights of others affected by the activity permitted.

The City submits the following preliminary comments on the Proposal and Draft
1. Draft Section 11: Section 327.46, Florida Statutes, Boating restricted areas.
The Draft establishes in Section I1 specific criteria for the adoption of boating
restricted areas in subsections 327.46(1)(a) and (b). The Proposal, page 4,
recommendation (8) makes clear that the "good cause" necessary to establish boating
restricted areas "should nat include the consideration of compatibility with non-water-
dependent riparian land uses." The Draft and Proposal are consistent as subsections (a)
and (b) exclude any recognition of the impact on upland owners.
The adoption of statewide rules governing anchoring and mooring, however,
creates an opportunity to create a statewide boating restricted area for anchorine that
reasonably prevents boaters from anchoring too close to upland property, preventing their
infringing on .the use and enjoyment by riparian owners of Their upland property. It
seems reasonable to the City that a statewide seiback area be created that puts boaters in
Florida on notice that they should not anchor for extended specified periods of time or
except in emergency or other specified circumstances immediately behind someone's
single family house or other residential property. While reasonable persons may differ as
to the extent of the setback area, it is a subject that deserves discussion and consideration
as part of this amendment process. For purposes of discussion, the City proposes a
setback area be created of 300 feet behind residential properties, in which azea boaters
may not anchor for more thati 12 hours except in emergency circumstances, which the
Draft defines in section 327.46(5}.
'1'hc Draft also proposes language in section 327.46(2)(b), which provides that no
local ordinance may become effective without FWC review and approval. If the statutory
language is sufficiently clear, local ordinances consistent with the statutory criteria
should not need such review and approval.
2. Draft Sections 12 and 13: Sections 327.60, Local regulations; ]imitations,_and
327.61, Anchoring, local regulation, Florida Statutcs.
The Draft proposes to strike the phrase "in navigation" from section 327.60(2),
which it renumbers as 327.60(3), and relies on new section 327.61 to govern local
government regulation of anchoring within its jurisdiction. Subsection 327.61(1)
proposes the 30 consecutive day or 120 day cumulative length of stay provision that
would apply statewide. Subsection 327.61(2) provides fora 3 consecutive day or 10 day
cumulative length of stay provision if the local govemment has provided a mooring field
and satisfies other criteria subject to FWC "determin(ing) that a sufficient number of
public moorings are available to meet the needs of resident and transient vessels."

The City's ordinance regulating anchoring adopted in 2005, copy attached, sets
forth a length of stay provision of "seven (7) consecutive or cumulative days within. a
flurry-day period,'' for vessels that are no longer engaged in the exercise of rights of
navigation, subject to extensive exceptions. See Miami Beach City Code sections 66-
8(b)(1}, (c} and (d). This ordinance was adopted after extensive review of the applicable
case law, other anchoring legislation adopted by local governments throughout Florida,
extensive lobbying by the boating public, and numerous public hearings at which affected
boaters and residents appeazed. It represents a consensus reached locally based upon the
City Commission's weighing the impact on boaters, and the results experienced when
some of them anchor too close to and adversely affect immediately adjacent riparian
landowners. This dispute would not be occurring if all boaters exercised prudent
judgment in the selection of their length of stay and location and behave with due
recognition to the impact they cause. However, we cannot regulate manners. The City
urges the FWC to consider a statutory amendment that is closer to the "seven consecutive
or cumulative days within a thirty day period" that the Miami Beach Ciiy Commission
has adopted, -for the reasons sei forth in the ordinance. It has proven to be a workable
compromise that all affected parties have leazned to live within after adoption.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide these prelimn~azy comments to the
efforts of the FWC, the FWC staff and other interested persons in addressing this issue,
and look forward to further opportunities to discuss tltis matter with you and them.
Thank you

Section 7. ~ 327.22 is repealed.
Section 327.22 presently allows only two throes: 1)1\funicipalitics and counties may regulate
their own resident vessels more strictly than tramienl vessels; \dunicipalities and counties
may adopt ordinances that allow for enft~rcernent of boating restricted areas (speed limits.
etc.? by mailing a citation.
No municipality or county has ever passed an ordinance tha[ regulates thz operation only of
its owu resident vessels and not that of n-ansient vessels. Phis amendment would repeal that
authority. As a catscyuence, it will promote uniformity of boating regulation.
The provision for mailing citatiats will remain, but it is clarif7ed and transfecTed ur section
