342.07 Recreational and commercial working waterfronts; legislative findings;
deflnitlons.—
(1) The Legislature recognizes that there 1s an important state interest in facilitating boating
and other recreational access to the state's navigable waters. This access is vital to tourists and
recreational users and the marine industry in the state, to maintaining or enhancing the $57 billion
economic impact of tourism and the $14 billion economic impact of boating in the state annually,
and to ensuring continued access to all residents and visitors to the navigable waters of the state.
The Legislature recognizes that there is an important state interest in maintaining viable water -
dependent support facilities, such as public lodging establishments and boat hauling and repairing
and commercial fishing facilities, and in maintaining the availability of public access to the
navigable waters of the state. The Legislature further recognizes that the waterways of the state
are important for engaging in commerce and the transportation of goods and people upon such
waterways and that such commerce and transportation is not feasible unless there is access to and
from the navigable waters of the state through recreational and commercial working waterfronts.
(2) As used in this section, the term "recreational and commercial working waterfront" means
a parcel or parcels of real property that provide access for water -dependent commercial activities,
including hotels and motels as defined in s. 509.242(1), or provide access for the public to the
navigable waters of the state. Recreational and commercial working waterfronts require direct
access to or a location on, over, or adjacent to a navigable body of water. The term includes water -
dependent facilities that are open to the public and offer public access by vessels to the waters of
the state or that are support facilities for recreational, commercial, research, or governmental
vessels. These facilities include public lodging establishments, docks, wharfs, lifts, wet and dry
marinas, boat ramps, boat hauling and repair facilities, commercial fishing facilities, boat
construction facilities, and other support structures over the water. As used in this section, the
term "vessel" has the same meaning as in s. 327.02(39). Seaports are excluded from the definition.
