Chairman Eggert asked if anyone was planning on attending a <br />seminar scheduled for April 20 and 21 in Melbourne, and <br />Commissioner Bowman advised that the MRC would very much like to <br />have delegates representing all interests in the population. <br />This is not strictly for environmentalists; it is for the general <br />public as well, and they would like to have as many people as <br />possible attend this assembly. <br />Roland DeBlois, Chief of Environmental Planning, advised <br />that he and Planner Mark Crosley are slated to attend on Friday, <br />April 20, but if the Commission wishes, they would attend the <br />Saturday meeting also. <br />DNR'S RESPONSE TO IRC'S MANATEE PROTECTION PLAN <br />The Board reviewed the following letter dated 4/6/90: <br />STATE OF FLORIDA <br />DEPARTMENT OF <br />NATURAL RESOURCES <br />Marjory Stoneman Douglas Building . 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard • Tallahassee, Florida 32399 <br />Toni Gardner, <br />Executive Director <br />�+gfj 161 <br />April 6, 1990 <br />?, <br />Mr. Roland DeBlois, Chief <br />-LIcoIAO <br />Environmental Planning & Code <br />� �. ,"^*. <br />? ,:,k^ <br />' NTY <br />T 1 <br />Enforcement Section <br />�?,�c2.,�9? <br />/ c�`i.

We would like to work with the county to <br />develop and implement an interim plan that will provide greater <br />manatee protection while accommodating recreational uses as much <br />as possible. The Department is submitting a proposal (see <br />attached) that wd hope the county will consider adopting in lieu <br />of the plan adopted under Resolution No. 90-20. We feel that this <br />is the minimal amount of protection that may be accepted because <br />of the heavy manatee use in the county. Areas that have been left <br />unregulated, in particular ski areas where there is heavy manatee <br />use, will need to be evaluated for possible regulation in the final <br />manatee protection plan as alternative ski sites can be found. We <br />want to continue to work with the county toward a final manatee <br />protection plan that will address all aspects of manatee <br />protection, including public education and land use planning (ie., <br />marina siting): <br />35 <br />UoOK,1 d PAGE <br />
