THOMAS: If they were doing that now, <br />they would never get a permit for that. I can assure <br />you (blank.) Let me point out what Dr. Christiansen <br />points out in the beginning., We certainly are aware <br />that there have been problems in the past. <br />We can certainly see aro.und Florida the <br />damage done, and the very poor water quality in some <br />of the canals and marinas that have been constructed <br />in the past. And this did lead to a very stereotype <br />thing, all marinas are bad.. And during the <br />environmental movement of the early 70's, that <br />was a standard thing. <br />They are bad, and we had to let the question. <br />pass, and there were lots.of groups formed to fight <br />them. Dr, Christiansen points out, though, they <br />are not necessarily bad. The state of the art, <br />the signs that are available to us now have enabled <br />us to come up with some innovative designs that will <br />meet ghe problem head on, and solve it. So we <br />shouldn't be bound by the experience of the past, <br />thinking about marinas or any other constructed <br />waterways. We should be able to evaluate the data <br />that we can generate. VTe should be able to evaluate <br />the research that's been done at the government expense, <br />much of it, and we should be able to use that to <br />JAN 271992 II eBD P„GE'151 <br />
