Creating two well-marked entry lanes for vessels to approach shore would allow the current boating activity to continue.  motorized vessels approach shore inside of these entry lanes at idle speed.  Abundant space would be allocated near the Casa marina Dock to provide safe maneuvering and docking.  Designated swim areas are preferred by boat captains who do not like to navigate around free-roaming swimmers while approaching shore.

Establishing the Marine Park as a no harvest zone will enhance the experience for those who snorkel in the park and also provide a protected habitat for fish.  The White Street Pier is not included within the boundaries of the proposed park to allow fishing activities on the pier to continue.  Included in this proposal is a request to establish fish habitats called "Reef Balls," within the area of the Park.  Reef Balls provide habitat for various species of fish and also provide hard substrate for corals to attach to.  Fish habitats would provide anglers with increased catches on nearby fishing piers as the fish mature and migrate out of the protected area.  Reef Balls would be strategically placed, away from the marked boat entry lanes, to attract snorkelers away from the vessel traffic
