Good Morning,

Thank you for supporting our effort to make Jupiter Inlet access safe and navigable! We've gathered 66 signatures in just a few days—a strong start. To build momentum, please help us reach 500 by the November 12 board meeting. Share the petition link with fellow boaters, fishing groups, or on social media: www.openpetition.org/!pkzwg

Last Wednesday's district board meeting was encouraging. Though dredging and marking the inlet access wasn't on the agenda, each board member had received our petition. They asked Jay Carpenter to summarize our concerns and goals.

After lengthy discussion, two members now clearly support our objectives, while the others are open and requesting more details. This marks real progress: Previously, only one supported it, one opposed (absent this meeting), and three were neutral. As a result of your support, the attending members voted 4-0 to authorize the District Engineer to provide to the Board by the November Meeting an outline of the major items that will need to be studied and solutions developed to ultimately get to the goal of a Dependable Marked Inlet Approach. This outline was intended to be very broad to identify the “Major Elements” of the process.

Your involvement is already driving change! Let's push to 500 signatures to show the board and stakeholders (like the Army Corp of Engineers that have Veto power) that the community requests action for a safer, more dependable inlet.

Best,

Chris Ball
