CREATING MDC BOATER SAFETY, BAY EDUCATION ADVISORY BOARD

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · ordinance

Miami-Dade County is creating the Boater Safety and Bay Education Advisory Board. This ordinance establishes the board, outlines its composition (nine voting members with expertise in boater safety, law enforcement, recreational and commercial boating industries, community vitality, and environmental protection), duties, and operational procedures. The board will advise the Board of County Commissioners and County Mayor on boater safety issues, particularly concerning Biscayne Bay. The initiative stems from recommendations made by a temporary task force following boating-related incidents. Members serve without compensation. The ordinance was introduced on July 1, 2026, and an agenda date is set for July 21, 2026.
