8 ft on average at low tide. On a very low tide, buoy 50 has been reported to be at 6 ½ ft. Be careful on the very northeast side of the mooring field when entering from the north, just under the causeway. It tends to be on the shallow side.

For those having deeper drafts, entering the mooring field from the middle or even from the back of the field will ensure a safer passage.

About

A mooring field is a legally defined area within a body of water. Mooring buoys provide an organized, secure way to protect boats and the environment. Customers of the Jensen Beach Mooring Field are assigned a mooring and can then secure their boat to the mooring buoy, which is attached to permanent anchors.

Mooring fields are beneficial to the environment, as the use of mooring buoys helps protect sea grass and the sea floor from anchor dragging. Pump-out services are required for boats in the mooring field, and the illegal discharge of solid or liquid waste into the waterway can be substantially curbed. Mooring fields are also beneficial to safety, the local economy and the boating community. Learn more at martin.fl.us/Mooringfields.

The Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) provided $500,000 towards the construction costs for the Jensen Beach Mooring Field. The Florida Inland Navigation District is a special State taxing district for the continued management and maintenance of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), commonly referred to as the M-95 marine highway. FIND was created by the Florida Legislature in 1927 to be the State local sponsor for the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway.

FIND plays two key roles in Florida's marine industry: to perform the functions of the "local sponsor" of the Federally-authorized Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) project and a portion of the Okeechobee Waterway project in Florida, both of which are State/Federal navigation projects, and to provide assistance to other governments to develop waterway access and improvement projects.

Along with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, FIND maintains the ICW along the east coast of Florida.  As the local sponsor, FIND provides all the upland land parcels, including right of ways, for the management of dredged materials removed from the waterway.
