State waters do extend three miles from shore, with caveats.
Inshore waters are different. The Intercoastal Waterway is not State owned. The Waters are inside the state, and riparian rights guarantee access, but the State does not dredge those waters, do they?
I think State waters extend 3 miles from shore on the east coast.
Another jurisdictional point; who owns the water there?
Is that not part of the Intercoastal Waterway, subject to federal jurisdiction?

Riparian Rights are usually controlled by the state, but there is some federal overlap. Riparian Rights are state rights, but federal rulings have determined that a state can not sign away those rights. This was part of a federal case where the state of Florida sued to get back their control of navicable waters from phosphate companies. The state had sold the rights years before, but the feds still ruled that Riparian Rights could not be sold to private individuals or companies.
In Palm Beach County safe navigation of the ICW is controlled by the Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND). They oversee the dredging in conjunction with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
