      STATE OF FLORIDA ISSUES EMERGENCY ORDER 2020-09
      Effective immediately, the Department of Business and Professional Regulation is suspending on premises consumption of alcohol at bars statewide.
       
      The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation has issued Emergency Order 2020-09 prohibiting bars from providing the consumption of alcoholic beverages on premises.
       
      “Based on recent increases in COVID-19 cases and non-compliance with previous orders, DBPR has taken action to suspend on-premises alcohol sales at bars,” DBPR Secretary Halsey Beshears said in a statement. “DBPR believes this is a necessary step to take to protect public health as we continue working in partnership with industry and health officials to combat COVID-19.”
       
      Emergency Order 2020-09 applies to establishments that derive more than 50% of gross revenue from the sale of alcoholic beverages. The establishments can continue to sell alcoholic beverages in sealed containers for consumption off premises.
       
      Licensed restaurants can continue to operate for on-premises consumption of food and beverages at tables so long as these vendors derive 50 percent or less of gross revenue from the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption.

      Masks Required in Charleston, SC Beginning July 1


       View In Chartview

      Charleston’s city council voted Thursday night to require people wear masks in public places beginning July 1. Enforcement will be difficult in a state that values individual freedom over community welfare.

        What makes the author believe that "enforcement will be difficult"? I think most citizens of SC will think it is no big deal to wear masks if only for the benefit of their neighbors

      BoatUS: Possible Interference to GPS Signals from New L-Band Network

      BoatUS believes that as the Ligado L-Band network is rolled out, instances of signal interference in ordinary GPS will increase.


      Boat Owners Association of The United States
      5323 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22151
      FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

      BoatUS Says FCC’s Message to Boaters and Those Relying on GPS:

      ‘Tough Luck’  

      Controversial order threatens reliability of hundreds of millions of GPS units

      SPRINGFIELD, Va., June 25, 2020 – The nation’s largest advocacy, services and safety group for recreational boaters, Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS), says an April 22 decision by the Federal Communications Commission to give mobile satellite services operator Ligado Networks, a private equity company, the green light to build and operate a land-based industrial 5G (fifth generation) wireless network will negatively impact the reliability of the nation’s Global Positioning System and harm boating safety.

      Ligado’s slice of licensed “L-Band” spectrum designated for space-based navigation and communications is located near lower frequency bands used by hundreds of millions of GPS units used in public safety, health, government, transportation, military, commerce, agriculture and more. A founding member of the recently launched Keep GPS Working Coalition, BoatUS believes that as the Ligado network is rolled out, instances of signal interference will increase. This will give current GPS users no choice but to either purchase new GPS units or potentially suffer continued interference. The loss of a GPS signal at a critical moment is a significant safety concern for any vessel operator relying on this popular and widely used technology.

      The coalition said that FCC’s decision disregarded mountains of evidence highlighting the interference issue, ignored established technical standards, relied only on limited studies with vague and impractical criteria to access interference, and was made during the COVID-19 pandemic when a final decision was circulated only among the five FCC commissioners as stakeholders were dealing with the health crisis.

      The commission also ignored serious concerns from the federal government as well as agencies including the departments of Defense, Transportation, Commerce, Interior, Justice and Homeland Security, as well as NASA, the National Science Foundation, Federal Aviation Administration and U.S. Coast Guard.

      “As a recreational boater, I must have a reliable navigation system,” said BoatUS Manager of Government Affairs David Kennedy. “With this decision, FCC is permitting one private company to upend the entire reliability of GPS. It’s unfathomable that the lone federal caretaker of our national radio spectrum shows such disregard, even after admitting there are cases where federal and private GPS users will suffer harmful interference. It’s a message that in essence says ‘tough luck’ – you are on your own.”

      Boaters may remember Ligado’s former name, LightSquared. In 2010, FCC suspended consideration of its prior proposal to use its licensed spectrum for a 4G LTE network also citing unresolved concerns over radio spectrum interference with GPS, forcing the company into bankruptcy. In May of this year, Ligado announced $100 million in new funding from unnamed sources.

      Georgia Beach Week 2020 Cancelled

      Due to the importance of public safety, the annual BeachWeek events, typically scheduled for the week leading up to Independence Day, has been canceled. 
       

       
      GA Coastal 1200 header
      Latest News

      Brunswick, Ga.

      The Department of Natural Resources Coastal Resources Division (CRD) is taking precautions to keep the public safe and prevent the spread of Covid-19.  Due to the importance of public safety, the annual BeachWeek events, typically scheduled for the week leading up to Independence Day, has been canceled. 

      With summer in full swing, Georgia beaches throughout the coast continue to be popular destinations for visitors and residents. Therefore, CRD encourages the public to visit our website at https://coastalgadnr.org/BeachWeek2020 to learn more about the sights and sounds on Georgia’s coast.  You will also find links to our partners sites to allow you to dive a little deeper.

      Did you know that Georgia is home to 100 miles of shoreline, 380,000 acres of saltmarsh, and 14 barrier islands which buffer the mainland from the Atlantic Ocean? Five major freshwater rivers feed the Georgia coast, forming an extensive estuarine ecosystem. This network delivers vast amounts of freshwater to the coast and creates a range of habitats that support diverse wildlife. Although relatively undeveloped, the coastal Georgia landscape is changing nonetheless. New residents are drawn by the region’s natural beauty and abundance of recreational opportunities. Through a combination of wise management, stewardship, and collaboration, everything we love about coastal Georgia can be conserved for generations to come.

      For more information about Beach Week 2020 activities contact Jennifer Kline, Beach Week Coordinator at (912) 264-7218.

      Pinellas County Passes Ordinance Requiring Face Coverings, Gulfport, FL

      Gulfport Marina includes dry boat storage, ship store, bathroom, public boat ramp, parking, fueling stations, lighted range markers and guest docking facility.

      This West Florida county emergency action mirrors similar ordinances recently enacted in east coast Palm Beach, FL. See Masks to be Required. Gulfport continues to be a leader in preventive measures to curb the spread of COVID-19. Gulfport is home to Gulfport Municipal Marina, A CRUISERS NET SPONSOR

      Immediate Release
      Media Contact
      Tony Fabrizio, Senior Public Relations Coordinator, (727) 464-3849
       
       
      PINELLAS: COMMISSION PASSES EMERGENCY ORDINANCE REQUIRING FACE COVERINGS, OTHER COVID-19 SAFETY MEASURES
       
      • Citizens must wear face coverings in most indoor places, with exceptions
      • Emergency ordinance covers entire county and takes effect Wednesday, June 24, at 5 p.m.
      • Restaurants, bars must spread out patrons, prevent congregating and only serve seated patrons
       
      Faced with an alarming surge in COVID-19 cases, the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners on Tuesday passed an emergency ordinance requiring that citizens wear face coverings in most indoor public places, and restaurants and bars to implement new safety and anti-crowding measures. The ordinance passed 6-1, with Commissioner Kathleen Peters dissenting.
       
      The countywide ordinance takes effect Wednesday, June 24, at 5 p.m., and will remain in effect through the duration of Pinellas County’s State of Local Emergency. The Board extended that declaration through July 3 and can continue to renew it on a weekly basis.
       
      The ordinance defines a face covering as a material that covers the nose and mouth and remains affixed or a face shield. A cloth face covering, or mask, may be factory-made or sewn by hand and can be improvised from clothing or other household fabric items.
       
      Requirements:
       
      • Citizens must wear a face covering while in most indoor public places within Pinellas County, although the Board provided several exceptions. Among them:
      • The mandate cannot conflict with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
      • It does not apply if a person is strictly adhering to social distancing and there are 10 or fewer people in the location who are also maintaining social distancing.
      • It does not apply to governmental entities such as schools, courthouses or city halls, although those entities are encouraged to develop procedures to protect employees and the public.
      • The City of Gulfport is requiring face coverings in all City of Gulfport Public Facilities with the exclusion of the Gulfport Recreation Center.
      • If a person is under age 18, that person’s use of a face covering is left to the discretion of that person’s parent, guardian or an accompanying adult.
      • Religious rituals such as various forms of singing are permitted provided that social distancing is strictly maintained.
      • Exercising while social distancing, such as in a gym, is permitted without a face covering.
       
      • Restaurant and bar staff must wear a face covering while on duty and while directly or indirectly preparing food or beverage, or serving food or beverage, or having customer contact, regardless of where the food or beverage is being prepared or whether the customers are inside or outside. Customers can remove their face coverings while dining or consuming a beverage when seated and social distancing.
       
      • Restaurants and bars must position chairs and tables so that parties of one or more are separated by six feet and patrons are not standing at the bar or congregating in any area.
       
      • Retail employees must wear face coverings unless working in an area of the business that is not open to the customers and has social distancing measures in place.
       
      Carefully weighed decision
       
      The Board made its decision based on COVID-19 trending data, the advice of the County’s leading public health officials, and CDC guidance. Through the Zoom virtual meeting platform, the Board also took several hours of public comment.
       
      Dr. Ulyee Choe, director of the Florida Department of Health in Pinellas County, pointed out that the county’s rolling 7-day average of new COVID-19 cases is up to 219 per day, with a positive test rate of about 12 percent, whereas the positivity rate was only 1 to 2 percent five weeks ago. Dr. Angus Jameson, medical director for Pinellas County Emergency Medical Services, noted that COVID-19 cases in the greater Tampa Bay area have increased from about 125 per day three weeks ago to about 1,000 cases a day, raising concerns that COVID-19 will continue to spread exponentially and overwhelm the healthcare system.
       
      Enforcement
       
      The Board elected to adopt the emergency order by ordinance to allow it to be enforced as a non-criminal local ordinance violation, in addition to other enforcement remedies.
       
      Remedies include:
      • A warning.
      • A non-criminal ordinance violation citation that levies a fine.
      • Injunctive relief through a complaint filed in Circuit Court.
      • Misdemeanor arrest or a Notice to Appear for Repeat Violations.
