  • Notice of Proposed Rule Pinellas County Boating Restricted Areas Agenda Item 11 B April 18, 2013
    Notice of Proposed Rule Pinellas County Boating Restricted Areas Agenda Item 11 B April 18, 2013 FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION Vessel Registration and Boating Safety RULE NO.: RULE TITLE: 68D-24.010: Pinellas County Boating Restricted Areas PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of this rule amendment is to reduce vessel speeds on the Florida Intracoastal Waterway within Pinellas County, where necessary, to manage and promote the use of this state waterway for safe boating. The amendments, as a result of public comment, are more substantial than anticipated, and include the following: the expansion of “channel only” boating safety zones of the Pinellas Bayway Bridges, Belleair Causeway Bridge, and Honeymoon Island Causeway Bridge to include the entire width of bridge spans within the Intracoastal Waterway and the expansion of the “channel only” zone between the Treasure Island Causeway Bridge and Corey Causeway Bridge to “shoreline to shoreline”; The boating safety zone surrounding the Memorial Causeway Bridge will be increased by an additional 500 feet south of the bridge due to changes in maritime and bridge infrastructure; Increases to the footprint of the zones found in subparagraphs (1)(a)4. and (1)(a)5. to match historical boundaries established by regulatory markers; The removal of the 30 MPH channel only restriction throughout the County; New language that excludes water bodies such as canals and boat basins for shoreline to shoreline zones; The splitting of zone descriptions into multiple paragraphs for clarity; Updates of all the rule maps and the removal of the responsibility of Pinellas County and the City of Clearwater to mark the zones.

  • 2010 Statewide Seabird and Shorebird Rooftop Nesting Survey in Florida FINAL REPORT
    2010 Statewide Seabird and Shorebird Rooftop Nesting Survey in Florida FINAL REPORT RICARDO ZAMBRANO and T. NATASHA WARRAICH Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission INTRODUCTION In Florida, seabirds and shorebirds typically nest on flat beaches, sandbars, and spoil islands, which have coarse sand or shells with little to no vegetation (Thompson et al. 1997). However, habitat loss due to coastal development, an increase in human disturbance, and increased predation by native and non-native species have likely contributed to beach nesting birds such as Least Terns (Sternula antillarum), Black Skimmers (Rynchops niger), Gull-billed Terns (Gelochelidon nilotica), Roseate Terns (Sterna dougallii), and American Oystercatchers (Haematopus palliatus) increasingly nesting on tar-and- gravel roofs (Thompson et al. 1997; Zambrano et al. 2000; Douglass et al. 2001; Zambrano and Smith 2003; Lott 2006; Gore et al. 2008). A tar-and-gravel roof (hereafter a gravel roof) consists of a layer of tar spread over a roof, and then covered with a layer of gravel (DeVries and Forys 2004). This nesting behavior was first reported for Least Terns in Miami Beach, Florida in the early 1950s (J.K. Howard in Fisk 1978) and has since been recorded in Maryland, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas (Jackson and Jackson 1985; Krogh and Schweitzer 1999; Butcher et al. 2007). In Florida, Least Terns increasingly have used roofs for nesting and now they outnumber ground nesting colonies. Zambrano et al. (1997) found 93% of Least Terns breeding in southeast Florida nested on roofs and Gore et al. (2007) found that 84% of all Least Tern nesting pairs in Florida were on roofs.
