New Anchoring Regulations in Florida

In addition to the letters, calls, and emails to the Governor, our veto campaign includes social media videos highlighting the amount of money boaters spend in Florida.

The Florida Legislature has passed a bill that is bad for boating! HB 481 closes additional key areas of Biscayne Bay to anchoring for even one night. It also negates the requirement that the State regulate anchoring by allowing municipalities in the most populous counties to designate their own anchoring laws. This will result in a patchwork of rules that are hard for well-meaning boaters to follow.
