Abstract

This Part of Chapter 374 of the Florida Statutes contains general provisions pertaining to navigation districts and waterways development. The Legislature recognizes the continuing need for inland navigation districts to undertake programs necessary to accomplish the purposes of construction, maintenance, and operation of Florida’s inland waterways pursuant to the federal River and Harbor Act of 1960, and that it is in the public interest for inland navigation districts to operate and maintain the intracoastal waterway and any other public navigation channels authorized by the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund. The Part directs all inland navigation districts to undertake additional programs designed to alleviate the problems associated with the districts’ waterways. In addition, the Florida Inland Navigation District and the West Coast Inland Navigation District are directed to develop long-range plans for maintenance of the intracoastal waterway and for spoil disposal.
