COMMISSION MEMORANDUM

TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission 
FROM:Commissioner Mark Samuelian 
DATE:January  16, 2019
 



SUBJECT:REFERRAL TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD/COMMUNITY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE TO DISCUSS PROHIBITING FISHING AT SEAWALLS.

ANALYSIS

There has been an uptick in fishing on the seawalls between 10th and 14th streets. Residents who use these Green Space areas are very concerned that the bait that is cut on the seawall and left behind, many times with fishing hooks attached, will be eaten by dogs who are being walked in the area. Currently, there is no code prohibiting fishing at seawalls. The only code applies to certain bridges within the City. However, the City is able to pass an ordinance to prohibit saltwater fishing from city-owned property.
