The Delaware River

There are more than 130 ports. The development, maintenance and expansion of port facilities and inlets are significant activities in Florida's coastal waters. These activities can have many potential effects on the Florida manatee population due to alteration of habitat, habitat use patterns and direct physical threats from dredging, material transport, vessel access, blasting and other construction activities. Therefore, careful planning of all port and inlet projects with a responsible eye toward manatee and manatee habitat protection is essential. Often, Department approvals may have special conditions for the protection of manatees and their habitat.
