The Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) 2017 Waterways Assistance Program (WAP) over the pass twenty-eight (28) years has provided a total of over $205 million in funding assistance to local governments within our District to perform waterways improvement projects. Project types eligible for funding include public navigation, public waterway access facilities, waterfront parks, environmental education and boating safety projects.
The North Miami Beach Police Department (NMBPD) currently has two (2) marine vessels that are over sixteen (16) years old. Both vessels are in need of constant repair, therefore preventing the Marine Patrol Unit from actively patrolling our waterways. If funding is provided by FIND, this will allow the NMBPD to purchase a new vessel, reinstate Marine Patrol Unit, and meet the needs of the residents of North Miami Beach. |
