A Manatee Slow Speed Zone is now in effect for all of Moorings Bay. A sign has now been posted at the entrance to the bay. Additional signs will be posted by the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission within the next several months. Please note the definition of Slow Speed Minimum Wake: “Any vessel operating in a speed zone posted as Slow Speed Minimum Wake must operate fully off plane, completely settled in the water and at a speed which is making little or no wake.” Vessels complying with this definition should be moving at 5- 7 mph. The Naples Police Department will be patrolling the bay to enforce this new regulation. All vessels are required to adhere to posted speed limits throughout the Bay. We thank MPOA Board members Cliff Holland and Michael Crofton for their initiative and hard work to restore slow speed signage in Moorings Bay!
