  • 2018 Update of Tables and Figures
    2018 Update of Tables and Figures August 2019 INTRODUCTION This document provides an update to the majority of data tables and figures provided in the Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) 2015 Florida Seaport System Plan. The annual updating of seaport system plan data allows FDOT to: implement the plan using the latest industry metrics; provide analysis of long-term trends; and, provide a foundation for future five-year plan updates. The information collected for this update are the 2018 seaport metrics including the number of containers in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), cargo tonnages, total number of revenue cruise passengers, and several other items. The primary source of the data is the individual Florida Seaports and the Florida Seaport Five-Year Mission Plans. In addition, some of the data comes from official government sources. Maintaining this data on an annual basis will lay the foundation of information necessary for the 2020 Florida Seaport Plan to build upon. The purpose statement and vision of the 2015 plan are restated below. The updated Figures and Tables follow. It should be noted, not all tables and figures in the 2015 plan were updated as: some data sources are not updated annually; some source data has not been updated; or, the 2015 data is still up to date. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE This 2015 Florida Seaport System Plan was prepared in accordance with the statutory requirements of Section 311.14(1), Florida Statutes (F.S.). The development of this plan, along with other modal plans developed under the Freight, Logistics, and Passenger Operations (FLP) Office at the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), provides the Department with a cohesive planning process for all the modal offices.

  • Appendix A: Historic Context and References
    APPENDIX A: HISTORIC CONTEXT AND REFERENCES FROM THE HISTORIC PROPERTIES RESURVEY, CITY OF FERNANDINA BEACH, NASSAU COUNTY, FLORIDA, BLAND AND ASSOCIATES, INC. 2007 Colonial Period, 1565-1821 Founded in the early nineteenth century and incorporated in 1824, Fernandina Beach is one of Florida's oldest cities. The principal city of Nassau County, Fernandina Beach is located on the north end of Amelia Island, which has a colonial heritage associated with early French explorers, the First Spanish period, the British period, and the Second Spanish period. Early French explorers named the island "Isle de Mai" and Pedro Menendez built a fort there in 1567. In 1598 and 1675, Spanish missions built on the island contributed to a larger system implemented by the Spanish Crown to convert the Indians to Catholicism. In 1702, an English incursion from Charleston, South Carolina, attacked St. Augustine, but also invaded an outpost on the island and threatened the missions. Later, in 1735, when James Oglethorpe attempted to secure the St. Marys River as the southern boundary of his new colony, the Georgian scouted the island, which he named Amelia for one of King George II's daughters (Johannes 2000:3-4). Between 1513 and 1763, Spain failed to settle permanently any area of Florida except the immediate environs of St. Augustine. Besides establishing a permanent base at the port city and a chain of missions into the interior, the Spanish accomplished little of lasting significance. Farmers and ranchers cleared land for cattle, and planted crops and fruit trees. But, the growth of English colonies to the north in the 1700s and forays by settlers and militia into Florida destabilized Spain's nascent agricultural economy and mission system.

  • Florida Seaports Add Value
    FLORIDA’S SEAPORTS: HIGH PERFORMANCE 2017 |2021 FIVE-YEAR FLORIDA SEAPORT MISSION PLAN Florida Seaport Transportation and Economic Development Council www.flaports.org April 10, 2017 Dear Friend, Florida is consistently a national leader in economic and job growth. Our state’s investments in diversification, private sector job growth and business development have resulted in the creation of more than 1.3 million new jobs in just six years. The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity supports our partners all across the state as they work to improve opportunities for Florida families and expand our economy. Florida’s seaports and the Florida Ports Council are critical partners in this effort. Under Governor Scott’s leadership, Florida has invested billions of dollars to upgrade our seaports and expand the state’s freight capacity. Florida ports are some of the most competitive around the globe and are an indispensable asset for our state’s continued growth, as they attract business investment from across the world. Florida’s nationally ranked seaports have an incredible economic impact on our state. Our 15 seaports are job generators, supporting 900,000 direct and indirect jobs from Pensacola to Key West and representing nearly $118 billion in total economic activity. Investment in Florida ports also helps the state fund other essential needs, as they produce more than $4.2 billion in tax revenue each year. Our seaports provide support to maintain Florida’s position as the premier destination for family vacations. Florida’s cruise industry is an important part of our tourism economy. Cruisers embarking from Florida ports represent 62 percent of all U.S.

One of the men died en route, but MacGregor and the other were paraded before the king at St. James’s and gave an ex- hibition of their dexterity with the broadsword and Lochabar axe. Both afterwards rose to commissions. MacGregor subsequently joined another regiment.
