Dear Florida BoatU.S. Member,
If anchoring is part of your boating, heads-up!
Next week, Monroe County is hosting three stakeholder workshops around the Keys to hear public input and ideas for a new anchoring ordinance. We strongly encourage all area cruisers to participate in these meetings to ensure a reasonable approach is taken and that the Keys remain a boating-friendly area for responsible boat owner Monroe County is now one of five jurisdictions in the state’s mooring and anchoring pilot project. As part of this project, the County will be allowed to develop an ordinance that will regulate anchoring. Please attend one of the following meetings, and be prepared to summarize your own ideas regarding anchoring needs in the Keys:
Tuesday, June 7, 6 pm
Murray E. Nelson Center, 102050 Overseas Highway, Key Largo , FL 33037
Wednesday June 8, 6 pm
Marathon Government Center , 2798 Overseas Highway, Marathon , FL 33050
Thursday, June 9, 6 pm
Harvey Government Center, 1200 Truman Avenue , Key West , FL 33040
For more background information on anchoring laws in Florida see the new BoatU.S. information sheet:

We are not sure if there will be additional public input opportunities in the future, so please attend now to make sure your ideas are included as the County develops their plan.
Feel free to bring a friend, and share this information with others!
Thank you for being a BoatU.S. Member.
