Canella, courtesy of Daniel L. Schafer and www.unfedu.floridahistoryonline, digitally manipulated. LOWER SJR REPORT 2016 Preface The State of the River Report is the result of a collaborative effort of a team of academic researchers from Jacksonville University, University of North Florida, Jacksonville, FL, Valdosta State University, Valdosta, GA, and Florida Southern College, Lakeland, FL. The report was supported by the Environmental Protection Board of the City of Jacksonville and the River Branch Foundation. The purpose of the project is to review various previously collected data and literature about the river and to place it into a format that is informative and readable to the general public. The report consists of four parts – the website (http://www.sjrreport.com), the brochure, the full report, and an appendix. The brochure provides a brief summary of the status and trends of each item or indicator (i.e., water quality, fisheries, etc.) that was evaluated for the river. The full report and appendix were produced to provide more to those interested. In the development of these documents, many different sources of data were examined, including data from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, St. Johns River Water Management District, Fish and Wildlife Commission, City of Jacksonville, individual researchers, and others.

ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The Fish and Wildlife Service is amending a portion of the Lower St. Johns River Manatee Refuge area in Duval County, Florida, to provide for both improved public safety and increased manatee protection through improved marking and enforcement of the manatee protection area. Specifically, that portion of this manatee protection area which lies downstream of the Hart Bridge to Reddie Point will be modified to allow watercraft to travel up to 25 miles per hour (mph) in a broader portion of the St. Johns River to include areas adjacent to but outside of the navigation channel. Watercraft traveling near the banks of the river will be required to travel at slow speed much as they do now. The primary exception will be around Exchange Island where the coverage of the existing State and local slow- speed zones will be expanded. However, in the main portion of the river, watercraft will be allowed to travel at speeds up to 25 mph.

  • A. Introduction Setting the City of Jacksonville Is Located In
    A. Introduction Setting The City of Jacksonville is located in Duval County, Northeast Florida (Map 1). The St. Johns River, with tributaries throughout Jacksonville, meanders north about 40 miles through Duval County before discharging into the Atlantic Ocean. Widths exceeding three miles in the southern reaches of the St. Johns River, including its tributaries, comprise about 76 square miles of streams and waterways. The setting also includes 16 miles of coastline along the Atlantic Ocean. The Florida manatee, Trichechus manatus latirostris, inhabits the waters of Jacksonville year round. Few manatees are observed during winter (December, January and February). Manatees are observed from late March through November with highest concentrations occurring during spring and summer months (May, June, July and August). Florida manatees exhibit an array of activities in these waters including traveling, resting, feeding and cavorting (mating). In 1989, Florida's Governor and Cabinet identified counties experiencing excessive watercraft-related mortality of manatees and mandated that these counties take positive measures to reduce this problem. Specifically, thirteen key counties - Brevard, Broward, Citrus, Collier, Dade, Duval, Indian River, Lee, Martin, Palm Beach, St. Lucie, Sarasota, and Volusia - were to develop manatee protection plans which would address the multitude of threats facing manatees. In 1999, the Bureau of Protected Species (BPSM) which was originally responsible for coordinating and assisting in the development of these plans, was moved administratively from Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FWC). The Bureau was renamed later to the Imperiled Species Management Section (ISMS). As a result, data originally from FDEP is referenced in this report as coming from FWC.
