The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will hold a public workshop in Apalachicola to address possible rule amendments reducing vessel speed limits within the Florida Intracoastal Waterway in the Apalachicola River in Franklin County. The workshop will be heldTuesday, March 14, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Battery Park Center, 1 Bay Ave.

Amendments to rule 68D-24.015 of the Florida Administrative Code propose a reduction of vessel speed restrictions on the northern boundary of the boating safety zone adjacent to the Big Bend Byway Coastal Trail Bridge.
