| The
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWCC) approved
Phase II of the Manatee Protection Plan (MPP) for Volusia County on
October 19, 2005. Phase II is the Boat Facility Siting component of
the MPP, which establishes boat slip to shoreline ratios throughout
the County, mandates the use of specific siting criteria, and creates
mitigation fees that will support the new Manatee Conservation Fund
for additional on-the-water manatee speed zone enforcement and
conservation.
If
you are building a new dock with boat slips, you must comply with the
MPP. Certain criteria will determine application requirements and the
amount of mitigation fees that will be required. Please choose the
appropriate link below that applies to your specific project.
