RESOLUTION IN REGARD TO USING "CARL" FUNDS FOR MANATEE SANCTUARY <br />Commissioner Bowman requested that the Board adopt a Resolu- <br />tion supporting the purchase of property in the vicinity of the <br />north and south forks of the Sebastian River with CARL funds for <br />the purpose of creating a manatee sanctuary. <br />Commissioner Bird noted that he would like to see a map of <br />the area to be purchased. He wondered why we need so much upland <br />property as he did not believe manatees come out of the water <br />onto the land. <br />Commissioner Bowman noted that the idea was to include some <br />of the upland because you need that to protect your watershed, <br />and also to keep out development as much as possible. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Bowman, the Board unanimously adopted <br />Resolution 89-73 supporting the purchase of property <br />in the vicinity of the north and south forks of the <br />Sebastian River with CARL funds for the purpose of <br />creating a manatee sanctuary. <br />RESOLUTION NO. 89- 73 <br />A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY <br />COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, <br />FLORIDA, SUPPORTING THE PURCHASE OF <br />PROPERTY IN THE VICINITY OF THE NORTH <br />AND SOUTH FORKS OF THE SEBASTIAN RIVER <br />WITH CARL FUNDS FOR THE PURPOSE OF <br />CREATING A MANATEE SANCTUARY. <br />WHEREAS, the State of Florida is considering the <br />purchase of property in the vicinity of the north and south <br />forks of the Sebastian River and the C-54 Canal outfall with <br />CARL funds for the purpose of creating a manatee sanctuary; <br />and <br />WHEREAS, West Indian manatees congregate in <br />significant numbers in the areas of the Sebastian River <br />proposed for the sanctuary; and <br />47 <br />FOLK 6 F'.,;r <br />
