§ 91.30. Definitions.

For the purpose of this subchapter the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning:

Beaches. Defined in section 152.02.

Class II waters. Coastal waters which have, either actually or potentially, the capability of supporting shellfish propagation and harvesting. Water quality criteria is set forth in Chapter 17-3.111, Florida Administrative Code.

Deepwater habitats. Permanently flooded lands lying below the deepwater boundary of wetlands. The boundary between wetland and deepwater habitat coincides with the elevation of the extreme low water of spring tide in saline, tidal systems and lies at a depth of two meters below low water in freshwater systems. Where emergents, shrubs or trees grow beyond these boundaries in either freshwater or saline habitats, their deepwater edge takes precedence and becomes the boundary.

Dune preservation zone. Defined in section 152.02.

Environmentally sensitive resources. Wetlands, mangroves, deepwater habitat, reefs, grassbeds, beaches, the dune preservation zone, manatee and sea turtle habitat, "Outstanding Florida Waters" and Class II waters.

Primary dune. Defined in section 152.02 under "Sand dunes."
