The Chairman read the above notice into the record. <br />ll.G.l. BEACH RESTORATION - ARTIFICIAL REEF GRANT <br />AGREEMENT FWCC-02105- FLORIDA FISH AND WILDLIFE <br />CONSERVATION <br />TECHNOLOGY <br />COMMISSION - FLORIDA INSTITUTE OF <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Ginn, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Lowther, to accept the grant with the <br />conditions. <br />Under discussion, Chairman Macht wondered why we have to study this since we <br />all know a reef will attract fish. <br />Coastal Resources Manager Jonathan Gorham, Ph.D. responded that this project is <br />a cooperative effort between the local sport fishing club, Sebastian Inlet Sport Fishing <br />Association, the County, and Florida Institute of Technology. While we are all pretty sure <br />that when you build a reef, the fish will come, this project is really comparing the fish <br />population on reefs that are heavily fished versus reefs that are not fished at all. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and the <br />motion carried unanimously. (Grant Agreement FWCC-02105 <br />approved with funding from the Beach Restoration Fund, as <br />recommended in the memorandum.) <br />March 11, 2003 <br />COPY OF PARTIALLY EXECUTED GRANT AGREEMENT IS ON FILE <br />IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />25 <br />
