Issuing bodies include coastal municipalities (cities of Sebastian and Garden City, Florida; Scottsdale, Arizona; Union City, Georgia), counties (Beaufort and Glynn County, Georgia; Clay County, Florida; Jackson County, Missouri), regional water districts (Riverbend Water Resources District, Texas), and state departments (Utah Division of Wildlife Resources). The code sees activity across multiple jurisdictions, with recent opportunities concentrated in Florida, Georgia, Arizona, South Carolina, Texas, Missouri, and Utah, reflecting both coastal and inland waterway asset management.
