Recently Approved Rules
FWC manatee protection zones do not supersede more restrictive zones established for other purposes and/or by other levels of government. In cases where multiple regulations have been established for the same area, the most restrictive regulation is the one that applies and is posted.
Duval County manatee protection rule
(68C-22.027,FAC): Amendments to this rule were adopted on January
10, 2007. See Maps.
Charlotte County manatee protection rule
(68C-22.015,FAC): Amendments to this rule were adopted on July 3,
2006. The newly-approved 25 MPH "south prong" channel will take
effect as soon as the channel is marked and regulatory markers are
posted. This area will remain at Slow Speed until this happens.
