JAN 19 1988 <br />BOOK 70 F,, GF 5q2 <br />wondered if the idea of an aqueduct to bring in salt water is <br />totally crazy. <br />Ms. Barite replied that at this time they really do not <br />know. They are doing computer models of the Indian River and are <br />finding that wind is the major factorr in moving the water in the <br />lagoon, not the tide. The better they understand how the whole <br />thing works, the more reasonable some of the crazy things may <br />appear down the line. They are working with Harbor Branch and <br />taking advantage of the research and modeling they have done. <br />Dr. Virnstein passed out the following proposed scope of <br />work: <br />805 E. 46th Place, Vero Beach, Florida 32963 <br />Phone: Bus. (305) 234-4717; Res. (305) 464-0679 <br />Seagrass Ecosystems Analysts (SEA) will provide the following: <br />1. Aerial photos of all of Indian River lagoon within Indian River <br />County. Film format will be 9" x 9" aerial color infra—red <br />exposed to give a film scale of 1:24,000 (= 1" = 2,000 ft, the <br />same as quadrangle—scale topographic maps). They could be <br />printed at any scale to match planning maps. The film would <br />belong to Indian River County, but would be available for <br />examination by SEA. <br />2. Photointerpretation, to produce seagrass maps of all seagrass <br />visible in the aerial photos. <br />3. Four days of field ground—truthing to interpret the aerial photos <br />and determine the reliability of the photos. The deeper seagrass <br />beds will probably not show in the aerial photos. Areas to be <br />examined would be picked in cooperation with the Marine Advisory <br />Committee. <br />4. Final report, including maps, interpretation, and recommendations <br />for further action. <br />Submitted 1-19-88 <br />--C" <br />Ro ert W.
