The Okaloosa Board of County Commissioners will hold a workshop on Tuesday, November 12 to discuss the prohibiting of commercial vending (activity) on the Spoil Islands in the Santa Rosa Sound.

The Workshop take place at 1:30pm at the Shalimar, FL. location.

Earlier this year, the Board passed the Floating Structures Ordinance which has the potential to change Crab Island forever.

The Gulf Islands National Seashore started requiring commercial use agreements for all businesses who are vending on Crab Island to gather information as it relates to the commercial use activity on Crab Island.
