Janet,
There was a big problem with livaboards in Marathon, in the Florida Keys, but
it was eventually, mostly, solved. I don't know who to contact but a good
start would be SouthWinds magazine.

Subject: [Liveaboard] liveaboard communities
I am a former liveaboard who has been asked to write an article about
liveaboard communities that organized to protect their rights and perhaps
gained the support of the community. The article must have an overall positive
tone, so battles fought and lost are not appropriate.
If you are or were part of a liveaboard community that survived a threat,
please e-mail me information about what the problem was and how people dealt
with it. What worked? What did not?
In return, I would share successful strategies with others still struggling to
survive. A community near me in North Carolina was torn apart when the big
developers moved in. They formed a nonprofit corporation, got support of local
businesses, and hired an attorney, but the politicos were not convinced.
Although they are now scattered, they hope to return one day.
If you prefer, you can reply to me off list with "liveaboard" in the subject.
Janet
