ON-CALL RESPONSE PROGRAM FOR DAMAGED/MISSING WATERWAY MARKERS

Program Summary

The FWC operates an on-call response program to coordinate the timely examination, evaluation and appropriate repair of FWC assets that represent a potential hazard to navigation. This type of response system provides an efficient notification process for directing personnel to evaluate issues and take appropriate action. In some cases, this may involve passing on reports of non-FWC related waterway problems to another responsible entity such as the United States Coast Guard.

IF YOU SEE A DAMAGED FWC SIGN OR BUOY PLEASE REPORT IT! CALL:
1-866-405-BUOY (2869)
