  • The purpose of the proposed rule making is to include the following provisions in the program rule: Ensure consistency with the rule and Chapter 374, F.S., consolidate rule references to the necessary permitting requirements prior to project funding; clarify the rule provisions for land acquisition and shoreline stabilization eligibility; add waterfront parks to the eligibility list; and correct the rule language to be consistent with the small-scale derelict vessel program.
  • The purpose of these rule amendments is to modify the Commission’s Reef Fish Rule to become consistent with federal reef fish regulations for red snapper in the Gulf of Mexico. Based on federally established benchmarks, the red snapper stocks in the Gulf of Mexico are overfished and have been undergoing overfishing since the late 1980’s. The most recent red snapper stock assessment (2005) indicates continued overfishing is compromising the objectives of the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council’s red snapper rebuilding plan, which is designed to end overfishing of red snapper by 2009 and to rebuild the red snapper stock to sustainable levels by 2032. The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council developed regulatory actions in Amendment 27 to their Reef Fish Fishery Management Plan, and Amendment 14 to their Shrimp Fishery Management Plan. Amendment 27/14 addresses recreational and commercial harvest of red snapper, and establishes bag limits, size limits, and seasons. The success of the red snapper rebuilding plan depends not only upon consistency with the bag limit, size limit, and the fishing season regulations in federal waters, but also with the five states in the Gulf of Mexico adopting rules that are consistent with the federal rules in Gulf state waters. Florida plays a particularly important role in the success of the red snapper rebuilding plan because Florida’s recreational fishery accounts for a large proportion of the recreational red snapper catch, which is the primary source of red snapper fishing mortality in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Not doing so will not only directly affect the rebuilding plan, but may affect Florida’s recreational red snapper fishery to a greater extent if it results in further restrictions on harvest in federal waters in the future, as the majority of the state’s recreational fishery occurs in federal waters. The effect of these rule amendments is that federal and state regulations will be consistently applied. Where practicable, this minimizes confusion with the public and aids enforceability.
  • The purpose of the proposed rulemaking is to specify the boating safety information required to be displayed to the renting public at boat rental facilities. This information includes critical boating safety topics that can lead to boating accidents involving rental vessels. The goal is to ensure that consistent instruction is provided to customers by all boat rental facilities. The effect of the proposed rule changes will be to improve safety by providing information which is based on accident data to promote safe boating practices.
  • The purpose of this rule amendment is to modify the Commission’s Spiny Lobster Rule regarding the reduction in the number of lobster trap certificates. The lobster trap certificate reduction was initiated to reduce overcapitalization in the commercial spiny lobster fishery and to address concerns about excessive mortality of undersized lobsters, declining yield per trap, and public concerns over debris pollution from existing traps. The reduction process has been under moratorium since 2003. The effect of this rule amendment will be to end the moratorium and implement a trap certificate reduction schedule whereby upon the sale or transfer of certificates outside the immediate family of the certificate holder, the number of certificates received by the purchaser shall be reduced by 10 percent. Once the number of lobster trap certificates is reduced to 400,000, there shall be no further reduction in the number of lobster trap certificates issued each year thorough this mechanism. Reducing the number of traps will maintain fishing effort in the spiny lobster fishery at a level to maintain the fishery’s yield while maximizing economic efficiency, reducing ecological impacts, and preserving the general aesthetics of the coastal environment.
  • The purpose of the rule is to adopt Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) and their allocations for the impaired water segments that drain into the St. Lucie Estuary, including the following Water Body Identifications (WBID): St. Lucie River Lower and Middle Estuary (3193), the North Fork St. Lucie River (3194), the North St. Lucie Estuary (3194B), the C-24 Canal (3197), the C-23 Canal (3200), the South St. Lucie Estuary (3210), the South Fork St. Lucie River (3210A), Bessey Creek (3211), and the C-44 Canal (3218).
  • The purpose of these rule amendments is to modify the Commission’s Marine Life Rule in order to ensure the long-term sustainability of this fishery. These rule amendments were discussed by a Marine Life Workgroup composed of industry representatives over a three year time-frame and taken to public workshops. Language will be added to the rule chapter that will authorize the issuance of Special Activity Licenses for activities that are otherwise prohibited in this rule chapter. Additionally, new fish and invertebrate species would be added to the rule, which would require a marine life endorsement for commercial harvest. These additions are: porcupine fish, spotted burrfish, black brotula, key brotula, yellow stingray, blackbar soldierfish, red mithrax crab, emerald crab, red ridged clinging crab, the snail Lithopoma tectum, all hermit crabs (except land hermits), and nassarius snails. Misspellings in this section will also be corrected. A definition of fork length will be added for the measurement of tangs. The size limits of several fish species will be modified for commercial and recreational harvesters, including establishing maximum size limits for parrotfish and tangs, and widening the slot limit on butterflyfish. The recreational bag limit will be modified to allow no more than 5 of any one species within the 20 organism daily bag limit and create a 2-day possession limit for recreationally harvested organisms. The rule amendment would also establish a vessel maximum limit for dwarf seahorses and emerald crabs, and establish personal possession and vessel possession limits for zoanthid polyps, corallimorph polyps, and scarlet hermit crabs. The amendments will decrease the vessel maximum limit on condylactis anemones and add the snail Lithopoma tectum to the current star snail personal and vessel maximums. The rule would also establish a personal possession limit and vessel possession limit for butterflyfish instead of the current vessel maximum. Tools for the taking of corallimorph and zoanthid polyps will be specified for both recreational and commercial harvest in the amendments. Updates will also be made to existing commercial harvest restriction wording to make it more consistent with the endorsement program. The amendment would also allow the harvest of ornamental sponges north of Egmont Key in the Gulf of Mexico to be taken with a 1 inch amount of substrate beyond the holdfast and a 1 inch thick piece of substrate below the holdfast of the sponge. Taking ornamental sponges with substrate would not be allowed in waters south of Egmont Key. The amendment would modify the requalification criteria for the Marine Life Transferable Dive endorsement to allow live rock landings, because they were allowed for the initial qualification. The regulation regarding the use of quinaldine would be amended so it can only be used with the Marine Life Transferable Dive endorsement and the Marine Life Non-transferable Dive endorsement. Portions of the rule in Rules 68B-42.006 and 68B-42.009, F.A.C., are being removed because they are no longer necessary and outdated references to Marine Patrol and the Department of Environmental Protection will also be amended. The effect of these rule amendments is that more species will be given greater resource protection. Newly-added species will have their potential commercial exploitation reduced by limiting their harvest to only those that possess a marine life endorsement and limit their recreational harvest. The addition of size and bag limits will further reduce their harvest by collectors. Amending the language governing the issuance of Special Activity Licenses will allow holders so permitted under the License to conduct the activities within the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS). This is in conjunction with a Memorandum of Understanding that is already in place between the FKNMS and the FWC. The definition of fork length will clarify this measurement technique for fishermen and law enforcement. In addition, specifying the allowable tools for the harvest of corallimorphs and zoanthids will reduce the amount of substrate removed in order to reduce impacts upon the surrounding habitat and aid the enforcement of this rule within the FKNMS. The specification of an allowable substrate amount for ornamental sponges North of Egmont Key will help protect the resource and clarify language for marine life harvesters and law enforcement. Changing the requalification criteria to include live rock sales will make it consistent with the original qualifying criteria. Restricting the use of quinaldine will ensure its use only by endorsement holders permitted to harvest by diving, which was the original intent of the rule. Removing outdated sections, correcting misspellings, and clarifying language regarding commercial harvest restrictions are intended to aid understanding and adherence to the rule chapter.
  • The purpose of these rule amendments is to modify the Commission’s Blue Crab Rule in order to establish closed seasons to the harvest of blue crabs from traps. The purpose of creating Rule 68B-45.0045, F.A.C., is to facilitate the identification and retrieval of lost and abandoned blue crab traps. This has been identified as an issue of importance by both the fishing industry and the public. The proposed draft rule amendment would create five regional closures along Florida’s coast and one closure in waters of the St. Johns River system. Each closure would last up to ten days and would occur annually. The duration of the closures within the ten days specified in the rule would be based on conditions in the specific regions and would be at the discretion of the Executive Director of the Commission. The purpose of modifying Rule 68B-45.006, F.A.C., is to transfer the current Gulf of Mexico Regional Closure into the new section, Rule 68B-45.0045, F.A.C., so that all blue crab season closures are in the same section of the rule.
  • The purpose of the rule is to adopt Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) and their allocations. The TMDLs to be adopted through this rule are for the main stem segments of the Indian River Lagoon and Banana River Lagoon, including Indian River above Max Brewer Causeway, Indian River above NASA Causeway, Indian River above 520 Causeway, Indian River above Melbourne Causeway, Indian River above Sebastian Inlet, South Indian River, Banana River above Barge Canal, Banana River below 520 Causeway, Banana River above 520 Causeway, and Newfound Harbor.
  • The purpose of the amendments to Rule 68B-8.002, F.A.C., is to define or re-define terms that are used throughout the rule, and the effect will be that applicants will have the ability to better understand what activities require a Special Activity License without the need for agency interpretation. The purpose of the amendments to Rule 68B-8.003, F.A.C., is to improve customer service by increasing application windows, incorporating other agencies within the application review process, reduction of documentation requirements, and clarification of activities that require licensing, and the effect will be that proposed activities will be better reviewed by appropriate subject matter experts both within and outside of the agency and applicants will not be required to provide documentation that is not serving a management purpose. The purpose of the amendments to Rule 68B-8.006, F.A.C., is to expand the types of activities that can be conducted pursuant to a Scientific Research Special Activity License, and the effect will be to provide more flexibility to conduct necessary restoration activities with guidance from the agency through a licensed process. The purpose of the amendments to Rule 68B-8.007, F.A.C., is to modify display requirements for the benefit of marine animals collected for education or exhibition purposes, and the effect will be that the agency will be better able to ensure that such collections will not result in mortality to the specimens collected. The purpose of the amendments to Rule 68B-8.008, F.A.C., is to clarify that the Florida Marine Science Educators Certification is not limited to marine species, and the effect will be to lessen the need for agency staff to provide clarification to potential applicants. The purpose of the amendments to Rule 68B-8.009, F.A.C., is to provide applicants with more concise criteria regarding how requests to collect prohibited species are evaluated through the adoption by reference of standards currently established in agency policy, and the effect will be that the FWC will be better able to substantiate license denials that are based on standards currently contained in the policy. The purpose of the amendments to Rule 68B-8.010, F.A.C., is to provide clarification of activities that involve releases of marine organisms and require licensing, update genetic standards for release activities including incorporation by reference of a genetic risk assessment flow chart, and modify health certification requirements based on recommendations made by participants of a Marine Animal Health workshop held by the agency in January 2008. The effect of the amendments to Rule 68B-8.010, F.A.C., will be that the genetic and health standards by which release activities are evaluated will better protect the wild stocks of marine organisms from potential impacts from such activities. The purpose of the amendments to Rule 68B-8.011, F.A.C., is to provide for clarification on the eligibility requirements for receiving an aquaculture broodstock collection Special Activity License, and the effect will be that consistency will be provided between the activities that the FWC licenses and activities that are licensed by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The purpose of the amendments to Rule 68B-8.012, F.A.C., is to address the exchange of aquacultured snook, and the effect will be that activities which include the transfer of snook that are not sold will be required to meet the same standards as those snook that are sold. The purpose of the amendments to Rule 68B-8.013, F.A.C., is to allow for scientific researchers to apply for and receive a Gear Innovation Special Activity License which is currently only restricted to commercial fishers, and the effect will be that researchers will have the ability to participate in the development of new, more conservation oriented fishing gear. The purpose and effect of the amendments to Rule 68B-8.014, F.A.C., is to provide consistency with recent changes to the agency’s licensing requirements for the Marine Life fishery.

  • The Department of Environmental Protection gives notice of its intent to grant a variance under Section 403.201, F.S., from the provisions of paragraph 62-4.244(5)(c), F.A.C., to the City of Sarasota, 1565 First Street, Room 100A, Sarasota, Florida 34236, (File No.0270032-002-EV) to temporarily establish an expanded mixing zone of 300 meters offshore and 1,500 meters downcurrent from the point of sand discharge onto the beach disposal area during the beach nourishment on Lido Key beach, between R 35.5 and R 44.2. The Department’s file on this matter is available for public inspection during normal business hours, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except legal holidays, at: Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems, 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, MS 300, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000, (850)414-7798. A person whose substantial interests are affected by the Department’s action may petition for an administrative proceeding (hearing) under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, Florida Statutes. The petition must contain the information set forth below and must be filed (received by the clerk): Office of General Counsel of the Department, 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000. Mediation under Section 120.573 of the Florida Statutes is not available. Because the administrative hearing process is designed to redetermine final agency action on the application, the filing of a petition for an administrative hearing may result in a modification of the agency action or even a denial of the application. If a sufficient petition for an administrative hearing or request for an extension of time to file a petition is timely filed, this agency action automatically becomes only proposed agency action on the application, subject to the result of the administrative review process. Accordingly, the applicant is advised not to commence construction or other activities in accordance with this variance until the deadlines noted below for filing a petition for an administrative hearing, or request for an extension of time has expired. Under subsections 28-106.111(3) and 62-110.106(4), F.A.C., a person whose substantial interests are affected by the Department’s action may also request an extension of time to file a petition for an administrative hearing. The Department may, for good cause shown, grant the request for an extension of time. Requests for extension of time must be filed with: Office of General Counsel of the Department at 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000, before the applicable deadline. A timely request for extension of time shall toll the running of the time period for filing a petition until the request is acted upon. If a request is filed late, the Department may still grant it upon a motion by the requesting party showing that the failure to file a request for an extension of time before the deadline was the result of excusable neglect. In the event that a timely and sufficient petition for an administrative hearing is filed, other persons whose substantial interests will be affected by the outcome of the administrative process have the right to petition to intervene in the proceeding. Any intervention will be only at the discretion of the presiding officer upon the filing of a motion in compliance with Rule 28-106.205, F.A.C. In accordance with subsection 28-106.111(2) and paragraph 62-110.106(3)(a), (4), F.A.C., petitions for an administrative hearing by the applicant must be filed within 14 days of receipt of this written notice. Petitions filed by any persons other than the applicant, and other than those entitled to written notice under Section 120.60(3), F.S., must be filed within 14 days of publication of the notice or within 14 days of receipt of the written notice, whichever occurs first. Under Section 120.60(3), F.S., however, any person who has asked the Department for notice of agency action may file a petition within 14 days of receipt of such notice, regardless of the date of publication. The petitioner shall mail a copy of the petition to the applicant at the address indicated above at the time of filing. The failure of any person to file a petition for an administrative hearing within the appropriate time period shall constitute a waiver of that person’s right to request an administrative determination (hearing) under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S. A petition that disputes the material facts on which the Department’s action is based must contain the following information: (a) The name and address of each agency affected and each agency’s file or identification number, if known; (b) The name, address, and telephone number of the petitioner; the name, address, and telephone number of the petitioner’s representative, if any, which shall be the address for service purposes during the course of the proceeding; and an explanation of how the petitioner’s substantial interests are or will be affected by the agency determination; (c) A statement of when and how the petitioner received notice of the agency decision; (d) A statement of all disputed issues of material fact. If there are none, the petition must so indicate; (e) A concise statement of the ultimate facts alleged, including the specific facts that the petitioner contends warrant reversal or modification of the agency’s proposed action; and (f) A statement of the specific rules or statutes that the petitioner contends require reversal or modification of the agency’s proposed action; (g) A statement of the relief sought by the petitioner, stating precisely the action that the petitioner wishes the agency to take with respect to the agency’s proposed action. A petition that does not dispute the material facts on which the Department’s action is based shall state that no such facts are in dispute and otherwise shall contain the same information as set forth above, as required by Rule 28-106.301. Under Sections 120.569(2)(c) and (d), F.S., a petition for administrative hearing must be dismissed by the agency if the petition does not substantially comply with the above requirements or is untimely filed. This action is final and effective on the date filed with the Clerk of the Department unless a petition is filed in accordance with the above. Upon the timely filing of a petition this order will not be effective until further order of the Department. This variance constitutes an order of the Department. The applicant has the right to seek judicial review of the order under Section 120.68, Florida Statutes, by the filing of a notice of appeal under Rule 9.110, Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure, with the Clerk of the Department in the Office of General Counsel, 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000; and by filing a copy of the notice of appeal accompanied by the applicable filing fees with the appropriate district court of appeal.
