back from cruising boaters, local boaters and other residents in evaluating the state's An-

choring and Mooring Pilot Program and related ordinances.

The FWC has posted a brief online survey to accept this feedback. It should take

approximately five to 10 minutes to complete and will be available to the public Oct. 1-9.

Any input is greatly appreciated in evaluating and improving boating in Florida.

The Florida Legislature established the Anchoring and Mooring Pilot Program in 2009. The

intent was to explore potential options for regulating the anchoring or mooring of non-live-

aboard vessels outside the marked boundaries of public mooring fields throughout the state.

After public input, the FWC selected the cities of St. Augustine, St. Petersburg, Sarasota,

Stuart (in conjunction with Martin County) and the cities of Key West and Marathon (in

conjunction with Monroe County) as five sites for the pilot program. They were granted

temporary authority to regulate mooring in their jurisdictional waters through local ordi-

nances. All ordinances enacted under authority of the pilot program will expire on July 1,

2017, and will be inoperative and unenforceable thereafter, unless re-enacted by the Legis-

lature. To access the survey and for more information, go to MyFWC.com/Boating.
