Description:This represents the third edition of this analysis of the federal, state, and local government law that surrounds the practice of anchoring on the navigable waters of the state of Florida. While there has been little change in the federal law since the first edition in 1999, Florida law, particularly statutory law, has undergone two significant revisions, first in 2006 and again, more comprehensively, in 2009. In both cases the Florida legislature has modified the key provision that includes the term "navigation" for purposes of local regulation of anchoring. And in both cases the legislature has sought to reconcile the conflicting state, local, and boater interest in that basic attribute of navigation - anchoring. This third edition describes the current state of the law in Florida. In addition, we have newly included a brief "taxonomy" of vessels while they are on the water, and a brief review of "rights of navigation" under international law, as they apply to anchoring.
