Marine Patrol Unit

Two full–time operators serve as the Islamorada Marine Unit. The Marine Unit is responsible for approximately 50 miles of shoreline and the miles of inland canals within the Village. The Marine Unit operates with a philosophy that promoting compliance and boating safety through education is superior to harsh enforcement; however, the unit is charged with enforcing nautical laws and village ordinances and does so rigorously when appropriate. The unit works closely with residents, organizations, and neighborhood associations to preserve nearshore water environmental resources and improve boater safety.
