Panel Favors Keeping Harbor Policy In Place
The Destin Harbor subcommittee of the governor's growth panel plans to present recommendations to the governor and Cabinet on August 21 that continue current harbor policies rather than impose a moratorium. The panel urges state agencies to permit docks case by case with net positive environmental impact and requires Okaloosa County to present specific permitting guidelines. The group also calls for a Destin Harbor Authority to coordinate development, state funding, and ongoing studies to curb pollution and improve water quality.
