COMNIISSIONER ITEMS <br />14.A. COMMISSIONER JOSEPH E. FLESCHER, CHAIRMAN <br />14.A.1. LAGOON PROJECT OF INTEREST <br />Chairman Flescher introduced an oyster reef concept that he believed would help <br />revitalize and purify the Indian River Lagoon, and asked Chip Swindell and Charlie Sembler to <br />present their proposal. <br />Chip Swindell, Ecotech Consultants, Inc., reviewed his slide presentation (on file), <br />proposing the creation of oyster reefs in the Lagoon to improve water quality and habitat for <br />marine life. He further spoke about design objectives and permit issues. <br />Charlie Sembler, 6945 49th Street, talked about the success of the oyster farming project <br />at Spoonbill Marsh, explained why oyster and shellfish farming is important, and suggested <br />creating an oyster pilot project in the Lagoon that would be relatively simplistic, cost effective, <br />and of industrial size, to get the desired results for cleaning the nutrients from the water. <br />July 9, 2013 15 <br />BA 144PG071 <br />
