Loss of Boating Access East Franklin County
Posted: May 6th, 2003, 11:46 am
Boater help is needed to continue usable access for boaters in Eastern Franklin County. Special interest groups are trying to place in the Visioning plan for the county and ultimately the Comp Plan restrictions on launch ramps, marinas and motorized boats. These are often couched in objections to development, but don't be fooled.
There are currently proposals in the visioning plan to ban all motorized boats from Turkey Point, Lanark reef area and west almost to Carrabelle.
This will be done by bouyed restricted zones.
You can verify this by accessing the FSU site of the group conducting the vsioning process at http://consensus.fsu.edu/franklin/ and reading the results of the workshops.
I've been conducting a one man effort to support equity for boating interests, but I can't carry it alone and need your help. Unless you want to fish from a kayak or Launch at Moorings in Carrabelle for $20 you had better speak up. Attend the next meeting on county infrastructure in Appalachicola on May 20th at 6:00pm in the court house annex.
