No Wake Buoys

Goal: To improve water quality with minimum impact to recreational usage.

Problem: Propeller wash mixes bottom sediments into the water column degrading quality.

Solution: Restrict boat speed in shallow waters.

No Wake BuoysAuthority:

Seminole County Ordinance and Florida Statutes establish a no wake zone in all waters to 150 ft from shoreline

Implementation:

Locate buoys 150 ft offshore at high usage areas (boat ramps and beaches)

No Wake Buoys
