• <br />Lori Veber of Sebastian applauded enacting the ordinance and felt this is a step in <br />the right direction in preserving the Lagoon. <br />Terry O'Toole, Florida Department of Environmental Protection Park Ranger, 4650 <br />84`' Place, Wabasso, also supported the ordinance and stated that he had seen as many as <br />40 plus cars at one time filled with people harvesting crabs. Most of the tags on these cars <br />were from the Orlando area and he believed that the crabs have become a very lucrative <br />market in that area. He also supported adding "possession" as well as "take" to the <br />ordinance language. <br />The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard regarding this matter. There <br />being none, the Chairman closed the public hearing. <br />Commissioner Adams felt the language in Alternate B Revised covers possession. <br />County Attorney Bangel agreed and noted that if language is added to include <br />"incorporated" areas of the County, the municipalities should be contacted. <br />Commissioner Macht suggested submitting the ordinance to our sister counties as <br />well as our municipalities. <br />Chairman Stanbridge noted that she will also take copies to Tallahassee. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn, the Board <br />unanimously approved Alternate 13 Revised and <br />adopted Ordinance 2002-003 prohibiting the taking <br />or harvesting of land crabs (cardisoma guanhumi) <br />FEBRUARY 5, 2002 <br />-51- <br />0I <br />i <br />
