Miami-Dade County officials said Thursday they are taking steps to make sure that Miami International Boat Show organizers follow the permitting conditions they are required to comply with and to monitor any impacts to manatees.

The Miami International Boat Show will be taking place between February 16-20.

In 2021, the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners approved a modification on the Boat Show’s Class I permit to conduct sea trials at the current location for the 2022 boat show event. The authorization also requires that officials submit a report documenting any impacts to manatees during the show.
