Charlotte and OkaloosaCounties have experienced the greatest increase in commercial shellfishingactivity and interest in Florida. This study has been made inrecognition of the important ro)e Charlotte County is playing in theI Florida seafood industry.If tho present boom in shellfish harvesting and culture is tocontinue and succeed, bulkhead lines will have to be set at or nearmangrove shorelines and dredging as well as filling limited by thebulkhead lines. The most realistic method to assure marine productivityis to allow those low shorelands lying in the path of urbanization to beraised to levels suitable for human habitation with fill material obtainedfrom draglining canals inside bulkhead lines, (28pp.)
