City of Marco Island - Waterways Advisory Committee

Marco Island is a canal community whose central theme is water-related activities. The value of our properties is dictated by their proximity to the water. The majority of our access to the water is our canal system. This system allows our residents to keep boats in their backyards with the canals providing access to the Gulf. The boating activity is paramount to our community. This activity must be fostered and supported since it is central to our property values. Marco Island must be known as a boating-friendly community in order to maintain our inherent value. It is the fundamental goal of the Waterway Committee to assure that our residents property values are protected by maintaining the integrity of our canal systems while servicing the needs of the boating activities central to our community.
