Within Volusia County the Halifax River encompasses a 23.86 mile portion and the Mosquito Lagoon encompasses a 21.7 mile portion of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. The two systems are divided by Ponce Inlet. The purpose of the plan is to provide biological data of the islands and to classify best use practices for each island. After an accurate count of islands located within Volusia County was acquired, some of those islands were classified into three management categories: active recreation, passive recreation, and conservation. Criteria used in classifying the islands include ecological importance, physical structure, historical and current use. MAPPING A numbering system was created for identifying the individual islands on aerial maps using the United States National Grid Overlay System. BIOLOGICAL SURVEYS As a component of the Volusia County Intracoastal Island Management Plan, biological surveys have been conducted for all islands. This was accomplished by visual surveys of the islands and the aid of 2006 aerial photos. The methods used for the biological survey were compatible to the methods used in the Indian River Lagoon Spoil Island Management Plan to provide consistency. The Volusia County Island Management Plan will only provide a list of species found on each island, rather than a count. BEST USE CATEGORIES Some of the islands located within the intracoastal waterway of Volusia County have be classified to one of three general usage categories based on results of the biological surveys and including ecological importance, physical structure, historical and current uses. The three usage categories are: active recreation, passive recreation, and conservation. Passive recreation has a subcategory of an education island. Islands that are classified as active or passive recreation would not contain threatened or endangered species and no breeding bird populations. Active Recreation. Islands designated for active recreation could support the development of docks, picnic shelters, brick fireplaces, barbecue grills, sanitary facilities, and primitive overnight camping facilities. Passive Recreation. Islands designated for passive recreation would contain no structures but could be used for picnics, fishing, swimming, and sunbathing. No fires would be permitted on the island. Educational. Those passive recreation islands that have both moderate species diversity along with a good representation of native plants could be used as educational islands. School children, scout troops and other children’s groups with the desire to learn more about the environment would be encouraged to visit these islands. These islands could also have nature trails with educational signal. Conservation. Islands designated for conservation would contain a high percentage of native plants and high species diversity. Those islands that are home to threatened or endangered species and/or bird breeding populations would be classified as conservation islands. Public use of conservation islands for recreational purposes will be discouraged and conservation signage could be posted at later dates. FUNDING Funding for the surveys and the development of the Volusia County Island Management Plan was provided by the Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) and the St. Johns River Water Management District Indian River Lagoon National Estuary Program through the Snook License Plate Grant Program.

The most important sources on the Indians of northern Florida* at the time of the first European contacts are the writings of the Frenchmen Ribault and Laudon- niere, and the Franciscan monk Pareja who lived as a mis- sionary among them. A very graphic record of the life of the Timucua comes to us in the sketches of Le Moyne, who accom- panied Laudonniere. The best summaries of the original sources are those of Swanton and, to a less extent, Brinton. See full bibliography, post.)

  • 3.0 Precontact Review
    3-1 3.0 PRECONTACT REVIEW A discussion of the regional prehistory is included in cultural resource reports in order to provide a framework within which to examine the local archaeological record. Archaeological sites are not individual entities, but were once part of a dynamic cultural system. As a result, individual sites cannot be adequately examined or interpreted without reference to other sites and resources in the general area. In general, archaeologists summarize the prehistory of a given area (i.e., the archaeological region) by outlining the sequence of archaeological cultures through time. Archaeological cultures are defined largely in geographical terms, but also reflect shared environmental and cultural traits. The Wekiva Parkway/SR 46 Realignment PD&E Study area is situated within the East and Central Lake archaeological region, as defined by Milanich and Fairbanks (1980) and Milanich (1994) (Figure 3.1). The spatial boundaries of the region are somewhat arbitrary, and it is after 500 B.C. that characteristic regional differences become more evident in the archaeological record. There are differences, however, evident as early as the Middle Archaic period when the characteristic Mount Taylor horizon develops along the St. Johns River. The Paleo-Indian, Archaic, Formative, Mississippian, and Acculturative stages have been defined based on unique sets of material culture traits such as characteristic stone tool forms and ceramics, as well as subsistence, settlement, and burial patterns. These broad temporal units are further subdivided into culture horizons, phases or periods: Paleo- Indian (Clovis, Suwannee, Dalton?), Early Archaic (Bolen, Kirk), Mount Taylor, Orange, St. Johns I, St. Johns Ia, St.

Entrepreneurs conduct large-scale draining to connect waterways, permanently altering the hydrology of South Florida. By 1883, the Caloosahatchee River is connected to Lake Okeechobee, lowering the lake’s water level and reducing water flow to the Everglades. 1881 Hamilton Disston buys 4 million acres of the Everglades. The cost is 25 cents an acre. In the aftermath of the Civil War, the state’s nearly bankrupt Internal Improvement Fund — recovering from the severe disruption of its infant railroad system — is seeking buyers for land. Disston, a wealthy saw Hamilton Disston connects waterways to Lake Okeechobee works owner from Philadelphia, returns the Fund to solvency in Central Florida, and by the fall of 1883 watercraft traverse with this single transaction. from the town of Kissimmee to the Gulf of Mexico 1883 Disston connects the Caloosahatchee River and Upper Chain of Lakes.

  • Port Orange Shoreline Habitat Management Plan
    CITY COUNCIL AGENDA FORM REQUESTED COUNCIL MEETING DATE: 07/21/09 SUBJECT: SHORELINE HABITAT RESTORATION & MANAGEMENT PLAN DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER/COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY RECOMMENDED MOTION: To accept the Shoreline Habitat Restoration & Management Plan, as presented. SUMMARY: The City of Port Orange is one of several coastal communities within the boundaries of the St. Johns River Water Management District’s Northern Coastal Basin program. The City participates in an inter-agency group formed by the District in June 2007, with the goal of developing and demonstrating best management practices for shoreline development and restoration. Under the leadership of Paul Haydt, the District has completed a comprehensive survey of the shoreline in Port Orange, and has identified six (6) areas for pilot restoration projects. To compliment and further the District’s efforts, the City employed Denis Frazel, Frazel, Inc., to develop a comprehensive Shoreline Habitat and Restoration Management Plan for the City. This Plan includes the District’s recommended shoreline restoration projects, as well as best management practices to guide the City as it develops and redevelops along its shoreline. Modifications to the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations are also recommended to support shoreline habitat restoration and management, and to ensure that required mitigation for shoreline impacts are undertaken within the community. Mr. Frazel will be presenting the final draft of his plan to the City Council.
