L Hair <br />Legislative Chairman <br />Vero Beach Anglers Club, Inc. <br />P. 0. Box 365 <br />Vero Beach, Florida 32960 <br />Dear Mr. Hair: <br />Our action with respect to shellfish waters of Indian River,.St. Lucie and Martin <br />Counties has without doubt been grossly misunderstood, and people have assumed as <br />• you indicate that we said the waters are polluted. The safety of oysters with <br />respect to.the possible transmission of disease is dependent as much upon poten- <br />• tial hazards as it is upon actual hazards. <br />;,.Our recent action stemmed from a lack of positive proof as to the implicit safety <br />of the waters in question. Until we can generate' through additional survey pro- <br />cedures assurance that oysters taken from the water areas will in noway be <br />subjected to pollution, we must continue our position as to prohibiting the area. <br />ME4 A.'`114f <br />• '�t <br />AUgutit i <br />SEP 91970 <br />
