Between January 1992 and February 1997, 1,174 citations were issued <br />to boaters. Of these, manatee speed zone warnings comprised 543 of the citations, and arrests <br />accounted for 105 citations. <br />Several law enforcement agencies have the authority to enforce boating regulations within <br />Indian River County. These agencies include: the FWC (marine and inland units), and the <br />Indian River County Sheriff's Office. Also, the USFWS has enforcement jurisdiction within <br />the Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge. <br />Currently the FMP has two (2) positions assigned to Indian River County. There is a vacant <br />position, that if filled, might be assigned to Indian River. To compensate for being <br />understaffed, the FMP conducts on -water patrols during peak boating times (i.e. weekends and <br />holidays), Additionally, FMP has a public outreach program. The Indian River County <br />Sheriff's Office has two full-time deputies assigned to on -water patrols. The Cities of <br />Sebastian and Vero Beach conduct on -water patrols on a part-time basis within their <br />jurisdictions. The USFWS and the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) both have enforcement <br />capabilities within the Indian River Lagoon. <br />C'nmmunity Wyctopment t)eirartnsent Page 26 <br />
