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 Baars Park and ending 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 $143,000 in current fiscal year (FY2022) for the planning, engineering and design services, and permitting phase.
FWC plans to allocate $945,120 for construction and an additional $233,755 for construction contingency in next fiscal year (FY2023) in which the City anticipates entering into a construction phase agreement with FWCC once those funds become available next fiscal year.
