Why it matters

Manatee zone

City code designates Banana River waters in Cocoa Beach, canals included, as a manatee protection zone (Sec. 5-14). Expect slow-speed rules around marine work.

The City of Cocoa Beach building department permits the repair with a boundary survey, after FDEP where the preserve applies.
