Manatee Protection Plan Implementation Report isrrrsi arrrprii Sbl H I9ili f3 sfrnWOfsf , m 2018 Manatee Protection Plan Implementation Report T»" ' \t'ki V f -■ City of Jacksonville *^11 ' Planning and Development Department November 2018 Executive Summary This is a Summary of the 2018 Manatee Protection Plan Implementation Report that reflects on the City ofJacksonville's efforts towards protecting manatees in Duval County. The third revision to the Duval County Manatee Protection Plan(MPP) was adopted by the Jacksonville City Council in 2014 and requires an annual report ofthe progress on implementation ofthe MPP. The MPP is a comprehensive planning document that addresses the long-term protection of the Florida manatee through law enforcement, education, boat facility siting, and habitat protection initiatives on a county-wide basis. The purpose of revising the MPP was to collect and evaluate updated information on manatee use and boat activity in the City of Jacksonville (COJ) and provide guidance targeted at reduction ofhuman-related threats to manatees and manatee habitat. The MPP attempts to balance boater access to Jacksonville waterways with impact to manatees from boat traffic, and is intended to increase the predictability of permitting outcomes for boat facility development. The 2018 MPP Implementation Report is a compilation ofthe efforts of a wide variety ofagencies that reflect the effort expended to protect manatees in Duval County waters. The report is divided into five (5) sections: Meeting Minutes, Law Enforcement Reports, Education, Awareness and Environmental Reports. The Meeting Minutes subsection report is an assemblage of the appropriate minutes of the Jacksonville (Duval County) Waterways Committee and the Jacksonville Marine Transportation Exchange (JAXMTX) Harbor Safety Committee, This section serves as a good review of the activities ofthe year and demonstrates the importance that manatee protection has within the City and JAXPORT. The Law Enforcement Report subsection includes quarterly reports from Jacksonville Sheriffs Office Law Enforcement Task Force, Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC) Law Enforcement, and Multi-Agency Deployments. The City has improved communication and coordination between federal and state Law Enforcement agencies since the development ofa L.E. Task Force in December of 2009 that has fostered improved efforts in manatee protection. The involvement of the City's Waterways Coordinator, a former JSO marine officer, has been very helpful in a variety of ways. His efforts have resulted in the buy-in of all law enforcement agencies and improved the coordinated multi agency deployment weekends. The Manatee Education Report contains the extensive effort made on behalf of manatee protection within the City of Jacksonville. Included is the COJ's Park Naturalist Education Program, presentations made by Jacksonville University faculty on manatees, and the FWC Northeast Lab outreach programs. The City also completed a 30 second public service announcement, which will be sent to local television stations for broadcast again in the beginning of manatee season 2019. The Awareness subsection contains the Updated Boat Facility Inventory, a list of DEP Dock permits. Manatee Mortality Information, along with Aerial Sighting Maps. It should be noted that three(3) flights/year are fUnded by the City of Jacksonville. In summary, the MPP Implementation Report offers an up to date review of manatee protection efforts in the City of Jacksonville (Duval County).

    Florida’s Cruise Industry Statewide Perspective Executive Summary Florida has long held the distinction of being the number one U.S. cruise state, home to the top three cruise ports in the world — PortMiami, Port Everglades and Port Canaveral. However, Florida is in danger of losing this economically favorable status, with potential redeployment of the increasingly large floating assets of the cruise industry to other markets. Great future opportunity clearly exists, as the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) continues to cite the cruise industry as the fastest-growing segment of the travel industry and notes that because only approximately 24 percent of U.S. adults have ever Cruise ships at PortMiami taken a cruise vacation, there remains an enormous untapped market. Introduction As detailed in this report, the cruise industry is Recognizing the importance of the cruise industry continuing to bring new ships into service on a global to the present and future economic prosperity basis, with a focus upon larger vessels, those capable of the state of Florida, the Florida Department of of carrying as many as 4,000 or more passengers Transportation commissioned this report to furnish a per sailing – twice the capacities of the vessels statewide perspective. introduced as the first “megaships” two decades ago.
