Code. If the amendment is adopted by the Fish & Wildlife Commission, it's rule regulating the speed and operation of motorboats to protect manatees on the St. Johns River between Reddie Point and the Fuller Warren Bridge would be the same as the existing federal zones established by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service in April 2005.
