  • 2017 Manatee Protection Plan Implementation Report That Reflects on the City of Jacksonville’S Efforts Towards Protecting Manatees in Duval County
    2017 Manatee Protection Plan Implementation Report City of Jacksonville Planning and Development iDepartment November 2017 Executive Summary This is a Summary of the 2017 Manatee Protection Plan Implementation Report that reflects on the City of Jacksonville’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 of the progress on implementation of the 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 of human-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 2017 MPP Implementation Report is a compilation of the efforts of a wide variety of agencies 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 of the year and demonstrates the importance that manatee protection has within the City and JAXPORT.

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.
