OSFR Monthly Board Meeting Featuring Guest Speaker Susan Dailey – Retired Marine Patrol Officer

The public is invited to attend the OSFR board meeting. This month’s board meeting is on Zoom.

Our guest speaker is Susan Dailey, a retired Marine Patrol Officer who will share her observations on boating safety and the effects of boating on the Santa Fe and Ichetucknee Rivers and springs. Susan has written a little bit about herself and what she wants to share with us. She is relatively new to this area and to OSFR.

“I have lived in Florida for 62 years. I have always enjoyed the waterways Florida has to offer. In the 90’s I began a career in Law Enforcement. Approximately ten of those years I spent as a Marine Officer. I enforced marine laws, promoted boater safety and the protection of marine wildlife. I investigated and prosecuted derelict vessels cases. I also investigated hundreds of boating accidents. I worked in a county with approximately fifty thousand registered boats, not to include seasonal boaters. Also commercial fisheries.

I will start with boater safety!! The dangers of the river because it’s so narrow.
I would also like to add what I have seen over the years, how the environment is affected, how fast it can happen. Also how fast the population is exploding in the area which can have catastrophic effects on the grasses, water pollution etc.
Lastly, there needs to be a plan in place to educate boaters”
