24. STANDARD MANATEE CONDITIONS FOR IN-WATER WORK

The permittee shall comply with the following conditions intended to protect manatees from direct project effects:

a. All personnel associated with the project shall be instructed about the presence of manatees and manatee speed zones, and the need to avoid collisions with and injury to manatees. The permittee shall advise all construction personnel that there are civil and criminal penalties for harming, harassing, or killing manatees which are protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the Florida Manatee Sanctuary Act.

b. All vessels associated with the construction project shall operate at "Idle Speed/No Wake" at all times while in the immediate area and while in water where the draft of the vessel provides less than a four-foot clearance from the bottom. All vessels will follow routes of deep water whenever possible.

c. Siltation or turbidity barriers shall be made of material in which manatees cannot become entangled, shall be properly secured, and shall be regularly monitored to avoid manatee entanglement or entrapment. Barriers must not impede manatee movement.

d. All on-site project personnel are responsible for observing water-related activities for the presence of manatee(s). All in-water operations, including vessels, must be shutdown if a manatee(s) comes within 50 feet of the operation. Activities will not resume until the manatee(s) has moved beyond the 50-foot radius of the project operation, or until 30 minutes elapses if the manatee(s) has not reappeared within 50 feet of the operation. Animals must not be herded away or harassed into leaving.

e. Any collision with or injury to a manatee shall be reported immediately to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Hotline at 1-888-404-3922.

Collision and/or injury should also be reported to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Jacksonville (1-904-731-3336) for north Florida or Vero Beach (1-772-562-3909) for south Florida, and to FWC at ImperiledSpecies@myFWC.com

f. Temporary signs concerning manatees shall be posted prior to and during all in-water project activities. All signs are to be removed by the permittee upon completion of the project. Temporary signs that have already been approved for this use by the FWC must be used. One sign which reads Caution: Boaters must be posted. A second sign measuring at least 8 ½" by 11" explaining the requirements for "Idle Speed/No Wake" and the shut down of in-water operations must be posted in a location prominently visible to all personnel engaged in water-related activities.

These signs can be viewed at MyFWC.com/manatee. Questions concerning these signs can be sent to the email address listed above.

25. The proposed project must be constructed and operated as per plans and calculations received by the District on December 22, 2025.

26. During all fill activities, it is important to ensure that manatees or sea turtles do not become entrapped within the designated fill area before the material is placed. If a manatee or sea turtle becomes entrapped, the area shall be opened to allow the manatee or turtle to leave of its own volition. It shall not be herded or harassed into leaving the area.

27. The Permittee shall install one (1) permanent manatee educational sign, the “Respect Florida Manatees” sign, at the entrance to the beach area, facing land. This sign shall be maintained for the life of the facility and installed no later than 30 days after construction commencement. Signs shall be replaced by the Permittee in accordance with FWC guidance if outdated, damaged, or faded. Information on how to obtain this sign can be found at the FWC’s website:

http://www.myfwc.com/wildlifehabitats/managed/manatee/education-formarinas/, and questions regarding this requirement can be sent to ImperiledSpecies@MyFWC.com.
