RELATING TO BOATS AND WATERWAYS
This ordinance, File Number 260878, proposed the creation of Section 7-40.1 of the Code of Miami-Dade County, Florida, to regulate overnight anchoring of vessels in Biscayne Bay and other waters. The proposed regulations would prohibit vessels from anchoring for more than 30 days in any 6-month period between one-half hour after sunset and one-half hour before sunrise, with specific exemptions for governmental vessels, construction/dredging vessels on active job sites, and commercial fishing vessels. Enforcement was to be by civil penalty under Chapter 8CC, with penalties ranging from $500 for a first offense to $2,500 for a third or subsequent offense within five years. The ordinance was adopted on first reading by the Board of County Commissioners on June 2, 2026, and was scheduled for a public hearing before the Recreation, Tourism, and Resiliency Committee on July 14, 2026. However, the matter was ultimately withdrawn by the Recreation, Tourism, and Resiliency Committee on July 14, 2026.
