A2: Manatee sanctuaries are areas in which all waterborne activities are prohibited to prevent the taking of one or more manatees, including, but not limited to, a taking by harassment. Designation of manatee sanctuaries will not eliminate waterway property owner access rights.

A1: Manatee sanctuaries are areas in which all waterborne activities are prohibited to prevent the taking (including killing, injuring or harassing) of one or more manatees. Designation of manatee sanctuaries will not eliminate waterway property owner access rights. Public and private property owners and their designees would be permitted watercraft access and allowed to maintain property and waterways when their property is located in a manatee sanctuary or refuge. Any authorized boating activity in the sanctuaries would be conducted by operating watercraft at idle speed and maintenance activities would be allowed, subject to any Federal, State or local permitting requirements.
