Vessel Registration and Boating Safety

Chapter:

BOATING RESTRICTED AREAS

Overview

RULE:

68D-24.008

Broward County Boating Restricted Areas

PURPOSE:

The creation of a boating restricted area is needed to provide public safety for a wide variety of users enjoying the waters of the ICW in Hallandale Beach. Operating a vessel at a slower speed improves reaction time to avoid collision with other vessels on the water. and will mitigate a public safety hazard created by a 3,700-foot 25 MPH manatee protection zone which exists between two slow speed minimum wake boating restricted areas between Broward County to the Miami-Dade County line.

SUMMARY:

This rule amendment would establish a boating restricted area within a narrow section of the Intracoastal Waterway (at its widest, it is approximately 380 feet from shoreline to shoreline). The proposed boating restricted area will extend south, starting from the south end of the current boating restricted area
established for the Hallandale Beach Boulevard Bridge, and will end at the north end of the current boating restricted area for the 192nd Street Bridge at the Dade-Broward County Line. The resulting slow speed minimum wake zone will be in effect year-round.
