In October, l989 the Florida
Governor and Cabinet directed 13 "Key" counties to develop
manatee protection plans (MPPs). This directive was eventually
required by Florida Statute in 2002. To learn more about MPPs
and their various components, please see the
FWC August 2000 Boat Facility Siting Guide.
As of 2007, all 13 counties have FWC-approved MPPs, which
include: Broward, Citrus, Collier, Duval, Indian River, Lee,
Martin, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, Sarasota, St. Lucie
and Volusia counties.
Copies of approved MPPs
Some counties have electronic copies
of their approved Manatee Protection Plans posted on their websites.
The following list includes links to those copies:
