(A) The division of parks and watercraft, whenever it considers it in the best interests
of the state, and as an aid to lake commerce and navigation or recreational boating,
may construct, maintain, repair, and operate refuge harbors and other projects for
the harboring, mooring, docking, launching, and storing of light draft vessels, and
marine recreational facilities. Subject to section 1547.77 of the Revised Code , those harbors, projects, and facilities may be constructed on waters in this state. If a refuge harbor lies between the shoreline and a harbor line established by the

to navigable waters, the littoral owner shall consent thereto in writing before the
location and construction thereof. The division may lease any space in those refuge harbors or other projects for the
harboring, mooring, docking, launching, and storing of light draft vessels. The rental therefor shall be determined by the division. (B) The division, with the approval of the director of natural resources, may expend

and operation of refuge harbors and other projects for the harboring, mooring, docking,
launching, and storing of light draft vessels, and marine recreational facilities
on waters in this state; for planning, studies, surveys, and engineering therefor;
or for the improvement of harbors, channels, and waterways to foster vessel safety,

accruing to the waterways safety fund established in section 1547.75 of the Revised Code . (C) The division, with the approval of the director, may distribute moneys for the purpose
