Florida Bay Management• Protect areas at risk of scarring with pole/troll and

pole/troll/idle zones based on science and expert on-the-water knowledge of where boats can be operated with reduced likelihood of damaging seagrass beds and other shallow water habitats (See Florida Bay Management Zones detail map)

• Marking of pole/troll/idle zones would be mimimal, with reliance instead on navigation skills, GPS, and marine charts

• Boat channels/access routes that exist now would remain

• Mandatory education/permit program for boaters and increased enforcement presence
