FLORIDA 31,961 1833 (305) 567.3520 March 14, 1988 Mr. David Roach Florida Inland Navigation District 1314 Marchinski Road Jupiter, Florida 33477 Dear Mr. Roach: I am pleased to inform you that the Indian River County will be represented at your meeting of May 10 by one of the County Commissioners. In an attached statement, (11 copies enclosed) it is hoped that we deal adequately with your need for a summation of the functions to be performed at _ the Center, and the related benefits to be derived by the Florida Inland Navigation District. Sincerely yours, y Margaret C. Bowman, President 41® �I�A (JTiy should [IND participate in this project? P1•orida's inland waterways present FIND with many problems, not the least of which is the environmental well being of this valuable resource. Your concern is shared by the Pelican Island Audubon Society, which has positioned itself to offer major assistance to the District in meeting this responsibility. We have long felt that the health of the lagoon and the environmental future of Florida in general are dependent upon an enlightened population. How much more effective the District's efforts would be if.the public better understood what we are trying to teach.them. To that end, an Environmental Learning Center is planned for fifty- one acres on Wabasso Island along the intracoastal waterway. The District's effort to increase public interest and understanding of the inland waterway will be greatly enhanced by processing annually Indian River County's ten thousand students through the Center. In addition to public and private school participation, the Center will provide for adult educational opportunities by three of the District's finest supporters. The Department of Natural Resources will maintain an on-site facility under the direction of Ms. Liberta Poolt, Manager of the Aquatic Preserve, from which the waterway program of that agency will be enlarged. The Marine Resources Council will also establish an office with teaching capability. Ms. Diane Barile,•Executive Director of MRC assures us that the waterway's best interest, especially that section known as "the narrows", will be better served. In addition, the Coast Guard Auxiliary, under the direction of Cmdr. Jack Reeder, will be provided headquarters. Safe use of the waterway will be taught on an ongoing basis. In conclusion, it is our belief that the mutual investment in the Learning Center by FIND and PIAS will create a facility of important assistance to the District in meeting its responsibilities. In the hope that you concur, we look forward to your consideration of our application. Pelican Island Audubon Society has surveyed the community and found both the need and the support for an environmental education program. The Society, keenly aware of Indian River County's- unique ecosystem, the myriad threats to it, and the need to educate present and future citizens as guardians of our support system, proposes to construct an Environmental Learning Center. It will be located on the 51 -acre southern half of Wabasso Island, not far from Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge. The acreage has been leased from the county at one dollar a year for 99 years. The goal is to foster and enhance a sequential, hands-on, interdisciplinary outdoor education program to prepare students to be 'environmentally literate adults; and to inculcate environmental awareness and responsibility in our citizens. It is anticipated that.we shall benefit the county's teachers and the school population, plus the adult community. To achieve our goal we shall engage the resources of both public and private agencies that share our interest in education, including but not limited to FIND, FDNR, FG&FWFC, U.S. Dept. of the Interior, Florida Audubon Society, U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, Marine Resources Council, and the public and private schools.of Indian River County.
