Reporting Missing or Damages Navigational Markers

 

Program Summary

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC) operates the Marker On-Call Response Program to coordinate the timely examination, evaluation and appropriate repair of marker assets that represent a potential hazard to navigation. This type of response system provides an efficient notification process for directing personnel to evaluate issues and take appropriate action. In some cases, this may involve passing on reports of non-FWC-related waterway problems to another responsible entity such as the United States Coast Guard.

This program has been set up exclusively for receiving reports of missing or damaged waterway markers (signs or buoys). Report a damaged or missing marker by:

• https://myfwc.com/boating/waterway/markers/damaged-or-missing/
• FWC’s Boating and Waterways section at 850-488-5600 or by
• email at Waterway.Management@MyFWC.com.
