[Wayne Wells]

Homestead Florida: Everglades National Park Superintendent Dan Kimball announced the designation of Snake Bight as a pole and troll boating zone in Florida Bay, effective January 1, 2011. “This new protective zone was created to provide enhanced protection of Snake Bight’s sensitive aquatic vegetation and wilderness resources, improve the quality of flats fishing, enhance paddling and wildlife viewing opportunities, and expand education on proper shallow water boating techniques,” said Kimball.

"boats may only be propelled by push poles, paddles, or electric trolling motors"

 

I guess that answers a question I had about kayak electric motors in ENP, I don't have one but you never know.
