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 Law Enforcement Report subsection includes quarterly reports from Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office Law Enforcement Task Force, Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC) Law Enforcement, and Multi-Agency Deployments. The City has improved communication and coordination between federal and state Law Enforcement agencies since the development of a L.E. Task Force in December of 2009 that has fostered improved efforts in manatee protection. The involvement of the City’s Waterways Coordinator, a former JSO marine officer, has been very helpful in a variety of ways. His efforts have resulted in the buy-in of all law enforcement agencies and improved the coordinated multi agency deployment weekends. The Manatee Education Report contains the extensive effort made on behalf of manatee protection within the City of Jacksonville. Included is the COJ’s Park Naturalist Education Program, presentations made by Jacksonville University faculty on manatees, and the FWC Northeast Lab outreach programs. The City also completed a 30 second public service announcement, which will be sent to local television stations for broadcast again in the beginning of manatee season 2018. The Awareness subsection contains the Updated Boat Facility Inventory, a list of DEP Dock permits, Manatee Mortality Information, along with Aerial Sighting Maps. It should be noted that three (3) flights/year are funded by the City of Jacksonville. In summary, the MPP Implementation Report offers an up to date review of manatee protection efforts in the City of Jacksonville (Duval County). ii T a b l e of Contents MPP Section 8.8 Implementation Task Update ………page 1 Manatee Data Report Summary……………………………..page 5 Manatee Mortality Summary………………………………….page 11 Marine Facilities Inventory Summary……………..……...page 13 Waterways Meetings Summaries……………….…………..page 25 Law Enforcement Report Summaries………………..…...page 33 Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission U.S. Coast Guard Multi-Agency Deployments Education and Awareness Summary……………..…….…page 46 MPP Implementation Report Summary 7 201 iii Implementation Summary ( Section 8.8 MPP) MPP Policies and Action Items Progress in 2016-2017 Tasks for 2017-2018 Tasks Comprehensive Plan The comprehensive Resolve downtown Submit Comprehensive changes approved by City plan will be DRI marina request Plan amendment to Council.
