Environmental & Marine Consulting Services, Inc. <br /> EMCS will generate a short list of potential facilitators based on professional qualifications, past <br /> experience, and professional references. Creech and EMCS will conduct meetings and/or phone <br /> interviews as necessary to present facilitator recommendations to decision makers. <br /> Task 2: Stakeholder Meetings & Report <br /> EMCS will assist Creech in conducting 20 stakeholder meetings. The purpose of these meetings <br /> will be to collect pertinent background information regarding each stakeholder, which may <br /> influence the meetings, assemble the most recent and up-to-date findings with regard to the <br /> Lagoon's health, and currently planned Lagoon restoration efforts. Specific information gathered <br /> from each stakeholder will include the following... <br /> • Specific interests, responsibilities, and constraints for each stakeholder, <br /> • Historical levels of effort taken by each stakeholder towards Lagoon restoration <br /> (successful and unsuccessful) <br /> • Current levels of effort taken by each stakeholder towards Lagoon restoration, <br /> • Future levels of effort planned by each stakeholder towards Lagoon restoration, <br /> • Each stakeholder's existing data inventory, and <br /> • Potential participation levels and/or funding sources. <br /> Additionally, EMCS will also evaluate various water quality improvement technologies for <br /> consideration based on input from the stakeholders. <br /> Following the stakeholder meetings, and technology evaluations, EMCS will generate a <br /> Stakeholder Meetings Report which will summarize the meetings findings and technological <br /> evaluations. <br /> Task 3: Facilitator Coordination Meeting <br /> EMCS will assist Creech with familiarizing the selected facilitator with specific issues, <br /> problems, and opportunities in the targeted portion of the Indian River Lagoon. A copy of the <br /> stakeholder meeting report will be distributed to the facilitator before this meeting for their <br /> review and utilization. During the meeting, additional background information will be discussed <br /> regarding stakeholder backgrounds, political agendas, interests and responsibilities. Past and <br /> ongoing restoration efforts within this area of the Lagoon will also be discussed in detail with the <br /> facilitator in order to promote an effective stakeholder meeting forum. <br /> Task 4: Stakeholder Workshop Support <br /> EMCS provide workshop support to the facilitator during preparation for and conductance of the <br /> three-day stakeholder workshop. It is anticipated that support tasks may include, but not be <br /> limited to the following... <br /> • PowerPoint Presentation preparation, which may include project area and data mapping <br /> (GIS), data plotting and charting, common scientific terminology explanations & <br /> guidance, etc., <br /> • PowerPoint Presentation organization and technical review <br /> • Technical support to facilitator during the stakeholder workshop in order to clarify <br /> complex and/or conflicting issues. <br /> Providing Creative Environmental & Permitting Solutions to <br /> Clients from Kissimmee to the Keys <br />
