1. Notice to Navigation
Attention all concerned boaters! Floating tussocks have formed in Lake Okeechobee near Route 2 and could pose a hazard to navigation.
What are floating tussocks?
While floating tussocks provide essential habitat for various aquatic life and can be influenced by factors such as water depth and soil characteristics, they can be a hazard to navigation if the wind direction and velocity blow them into the channel.
