BOOK i8 PAGE 451 3. Sebastian River Acquisition under CARL Program It was recommended that the Committee issue a Resolution in support of the acquisition before the December 1 deadline. The Indian River Lagoon was nominated by Governor Bob Martinez and a priority ranking has been achieved by an amendment to the Ocean Dumping Bill. It was recommended that the Committee send a Resolution supporting this action to William Reilly, Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, to protect the vitality of the lagoon. 4. Ad Hoc Committee on Water Safety Regulations The Committee recommended that the following people be included in the Ad Hoc Committee: Tim Adams - Commercial Fisherman George Bunnell - Member of Florida Inland Navigational District; Member of Indian River Shores Town Council; Associated with Environmental Learning Center R. Grant Gilmore - Marine Biologist John E. Jackson - Sports Fisherman George Phreaner - Recreation boater Jeff Luther - Law Enforcement Member pf Fish and Game Commission 5. Stand Up for the Indian River Lagoon Diane Barile asked for support from all County citizens to stand on the Wabasso Bridge and the Barber Bridge at 10:00 A.M. on November 24, 1989, or form a flotilla of boats in the Intracoastal at the local causeways to show their commitment to the future of the lagoon. A plane is going to fly over these areas at 10:00 A.M. and take pictures, and there will be national coverage. GCW:aw Commissioner Bird felt that because we are getting more and more boats in this area, perhaps we need to start looking more aggressively at some areas in the river and along the shoreline where boaters would be welcomed to beach their boats and have a picnic, etc. He felt that either the Parks and Recreation Committee or this Committee would be the proper forum to look at some of those alternatives. The Commissioners indicated that the Parks & Recreation Committee would be the appropriate form to look into some alternatives. 52 IIIP
