�-m Indian Enver County Manatee Protection and Itonting Safety Comprehensive Management Pian <br />South Section <br />The Oslo boat ramp is located at the east terminus of Oslo Road, east of U.S. Highway I and <br />adjacent to the Oslo Riverfront Conservation Arca. Shallow channel depths and the lack of <br />formal parking render this ramp limited to small boat access. The Oslo boat ramp also lacks <br />manatee protection signage and trash disposal receptacles. The original plans to improve this <br />boat access have been abandoned due to resource constraints, including mangrove wetlands, <br />dense seagrass beds, and shallow water. <br />Round Island Park is located near the south county line on both the west and east sides of S.R. <br />AIA. Recent access improvements have been made at the park, including replacement of a <br />boat ramp with two (2) ramps, construction of fishing piers, and posting of manatee awareness <br />graphics. <br />Temporary docking Facilities <br />Two boat docks available for public access to recreational and educational facilities are located <br />at Joe Farman Park and the ELC. During ELC visitor hours, boaters may dock their vessels at <br />the ELC dock to access the educational displays and nature trails. Joe Earman Part: is located <br />on the north tip of the "Lost Tree Islands" group, just north of the Merrill Barber Bridge. This <br />park has a boat dock located on the east side of a spoil island, near the popular water skiing <br />area known as "Gifford Cut." <br />Marinas <br />The unincorporated area of Indian River County contains no port or commercial marina <br />facilities, with the exception of Grand Harbor Marina. There are, however, several <br />public/private residential marina facilities, such as the Sea Oaks Yacht Club on south Jungle <br />Trail and the Moorings marina in the South County. A number of riverfront parks located in <br />the County provide public access to the IRL. A list of all of the commercial, recreational and <br />residential marinas is contained in Table 5, The general location of marinas in Indian River <br />County is depicted in Figure 7. This information was gathered during January 20000 by Indian <br />River County and FWC staff by visiting each boat facility within the county. Appendix A <br />details specific information about each marina such as water depth, peak months, occupied <br />slips, and contact person. <br />Community Developrnent Department Page 35 <br />
