Commissioners pushed the FWC to designate the Weeki Wachee River as a Springs Protection Zone. After a prolonged fight, the zone was approved last July.
The new rule bans “anchoring, beaching, mooring, and grounding” virtually all boats, paddleboards, and kayaks on a 5.6-mile span of the river between Rogers Park and Weeki Wachee Springs State Park.
