Since'that time, the contractual relationships between the Water Management District, the Marine Resources Council, and Florida Institute of Technology have altered, and Interested part -les ' locally have been advised that the SWIM Demonstration Funds have been lost. Both the Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County and the Marine Advisory Narrows Watershed Action Committee would strongly support the replacement of these funds from any other source available to the Water Management District. The delay In actual utilization of the funds at the demonstration project is from permitting and site plan delays for the overall Environmental Learning Center project. DEC 1 aQUI �� 81 BOOK
