Don Cuozzo of HCG is Appointed as a Member of the Florida Inland Navigation District Governor Crist Appoints a Total of Six Members to the Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) The mission of the Florida Inland Navigation District is to perform the functions of the "local sponsor" of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, a State and Federal navigation project that stretches from Miami to Jacksonville. In this capacity the District provides all lands required for the navigation project including rights of way and lands for the management of dredged materials removed from the waterway channel during dredging activities. Don Cuozzo, Principal of Houston Cuozzo Group, was recently appointed to the 12-member FIND by Governor Crist. "What a tremendous honor and responsibility," Cuozzo said of the term that will last through January 2013. "For the last 30 years I’ve enjoyed Florida’s waterways as a boater. Being in a position to now apply that knowledge and serve other boaters is very exciting." The District has several programs to ensure that the Atlantic Intracoastal and Okeechobee Waterways are kept clear and safe for public usage, to help people enjoy these waterways, and to protect Florida's manatees. District programs include:
