The Commission is considering a manatee protection rule for Flagler County (and amendments to the rule for Volusia County to remove from this rule existing boat speed zones in Flagler County). In May 2010, at the request of the Commission and as provided by Section 379.2431(2)(f), Florida Statutes, Flagler County established a Local Rule Review Committee (LRRC) to review and comment on a preliminary rule proposal. The LRRC met seven times and the Commission received the LRRC final report in July 2010. The Commission is currently scheduled to consider the LRRC report and Commission staff recommendations for proposed zones at the February 23-24, 2011, Commission meeting to be held in Apalachicola.
