FYI: If passed, I believe this will add state registration fees for rowing.

Subject: [Fwd: BAC Non-motorized Vessel Subcommittee (Canoe & Kayak
Registration)]

Dear Paddlers,

The BAC Non-Motorized Vessels Subcommittee will meet on Tuesday, January 31,
2006 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the HILTON UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA, 1714 SW
34th Street, Gainesville, FL 32607.

The HILTON currently has the Committee scheduled in the meeting room
named, CENTURY B.

Attached is a copy of the agenda.

This subcommittee of the BAC (Boating Advisory Council) is looking into
the pros and cons of non-motorized vessel (canoes & kayaks included)
registration in the state of Florida. All are welcome to offer input.
If you cannot make the meeting, send me your ideas, opinions, etc. and
I'll be glad to pass them on.

The members of the BAC can be found at
http://myfwc.com/law/council/members.html . The subcommittee members
are Becky Bragg, Lisa Neal (chair), Jennifer Castle Field, William
Griswold, Richard Jones, Jessica Koelsch, Peggy Matthews, Edward
Seguna.

Registration Update: In December FWC reported they would not be
pursuing non-motorized vessel registration in the legislature this
year, but that doesn't mean the marine industry will not pursue it.
Brevard County Commissioners dropped canoe and kayak registration from
their resolution for support of FWC funding to be sent to the
legislature.

For more information see www.paddleflausa.com or contact myself on
registration info (email is best). For more meeting info contact

See you on the river!
