Atlantic Beach adopts resolution supporting extension of shellfish‑leasing moratorium
Summary
The council unanimously adopted Resolution 26‑05‑01 supporting a state legislator's request to extend a shellfish‑leasing moratorium for two years to allow stakeholder meetings and further study.
Atlantic Beach adopted a formal resolution supporting a two‑year extension of a state shellfish‑leasing moratorium to provide time for meetings among coastal towns and stakeholders.
Town Manager John O'Daniel told council members a state legislator is seeking the extension "to allow time for meetings with coastal towns and stakeholders who wish to use the area for shellfish leasing purposes." Mayor Danny Navey said the town’s formal resolution carries more weight than a letter and will help ensure state officials understand the town’s position.
Councilmember Joey Dean moved to adopt Resolution 26‑05‑01; Councilmember Renea Baker seconded. The council voted unanimously, 5‑0, to adopt the resolution.
