It is called Deadhead logging and Florida owns the logs. https://floridadep.gov/water/submerged-lands-environmental-resources-coordination/content/deadhead-logging So Betty Sue can't be out there pulling driftwood out for her garden. It is done for safety issues and is highly regulated, because the wood can be sold for profit. So yes it is illegal without a permit, and no you can't just "cut the logs and float them down".

So Betty Sue can’t be out there pulling driftwood out for her garden. It is done for safety issues and is highly regulated, because the wood can be sold for profit.

So yes it is illegal without a permit, and no you can’t just “cut the logs and float them down”.
