Islamorada treats removal of disaster debris from private property as the owner's responsibility, though the Village may clear private rights-of-way, gated communities and canals after a significant disaster when there is an immediate threat; its definition of disaster debris expressly includes marine vessels deposited in canals. New vertical seawalls are not permitted on open water except under state criteria.
