Established in 2001, the Clean Boater Program is a derivative of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Clean Vessel Act pumpout grant program.
CCCLs are established in 25 of Florida’s coastal counties with sandy beaches, and may be re-established if a county’s shoreline conditions change dramatically due to historic erosion or hurricanes and other large storms.
The CCCL location is based on coastal engineering models, survey and bathymetric data and scientific principles that determine the upland or landward extent of the damaging effects of a 100-year storm event. Coastal construction regulations are also applied to sandy “pocket beaches” in Florida’s Big Bend region and in the Florida Keys.
