Comprehensive Plan Coastal Management Element manatee impacts with watercraft in Zone 9. Therefore, the existing maximum 1:100 powerboat to shoreline density ratio should be retained for Zone 9. In addition to applicable municipal or County regulations, a proposed marina facility would also have to comply with the regulations set forth in the Aquatic Preserve Chapter 18-20 of the Florida Statues. This would include any proposed development or expansion directly fronting the IRL, excluding the portion of the IRL within the City of Vero Beach, which is not included in an Aquatic Preserve. Furthermore, a proposed marina facility would be subject to a Development of Regional Impact (DRI) review by the TCRPC and USACOE permitting requirements. In contrast to low potential for new commercial marinas, private and public/private multi -slip facilities associated with multi -family developments are likely to increase in the coming years, as amenities to new riverfront residential developments. The location of these future residential marinas can be reasonably predicted by the existence of multi -family zoning along the shoreline of the 1RL, which is the zoning in which these types of facilities are allowed Aquaculture As aquaculture becomes more established, the need to develop policies to encourage a safe and viable industry becomes more apparent. At the present time, aquaculture in Indian River County is limited to approximately 75 acres of privately owned submerged lands near the Sebastian Inlet. Aside from water quality and water circulation problems, one of the major obstacles to this industry has been the ability to acquire leases for appropriate bottom lands from the state. To address this issue, the Board of County Commissioners recently supported the concept of creating an aquaculture use zone within the boundaries of the Pelican Island NWR. This proposed zone would double the amount acreage available for aquaculture by 125 acres. A more detailed review of aquaculture is contained in the Conservation Element.
