Congested waterways and increased
development along those same waterways has resulted
in conflicts over anchoring. Regulation of anchoring
presents a complex picture as the area may be concurrently
regulated by federal, state, and local governments.
The federal navigational servitude places limits on
state and local regulation of anchoring even as state
law, and 2006 changes to state law, impose limits on
how a local government may regulate anchoring.
“Anchoring Away”
represents a comprehensive review of federal and state
laws on the regulation of anchoring. Boaters and local
government policymakers can use it to understand their
respective rights and authority.
