Little Manatee River: Study for Wild and Scenic River Protection in Florida
This act proposes to study an approximately 50-mile segment of the Little Manatee River in Florida for potential inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. This means the river could gain special protection, impacting its future development and public access, but current management rules remain unchanged until Congress decides.
Key points
The Little Manatee River in Florida will be studied for potential designation as a wild and scenic river.
The study covers about 50 miles of the river, from its source to Tampa Bay, excluding specific parcels and the South Fork.
Existing river management will not be affected, and the study itself does not justify more restrictive rules until Congress acts on the recommendations.
