SUMMARY:
The City of Pensacola was successful in receiving State of Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) grant funds to enhance/increase public access to Pensacola waterways for kayak fishing and paddling, by establishing a designated kayak fishing and paddling trail starting at Sanders Beach. Kayak fishing is the fastest growing segment of the U.S. sportfishing market due to increasing fuel costs, expense compared to other watercraft, minimal environmental impacts and growing appreciation for an active outdoor lifestyle.
FWC has allocated $1,148,210 for construction and in addition to an already allocated $143,000 for design and permitting in the previous year.
PRIOR ACTION:
The City approved a grant funding award of $143,000 for Permitting and design for this project in January of 2022. This funding is an additional award that was anticipated for Phase II.
