Ins lbr interest in serving cm the Council, Including a .tat nt of guiding . philosophy regarding numgmicnt and conscrvation of marin c resources. My reason for interest in serving on the advisory council is based on my bac:kgruund in conurucrcial Real Estate Development, educational background & as a Marina Owner in flue upper keys. The work related experience that is part of each day has taught me that we must prescrvc and protect our natural marine re-wurcea for this is an important part of our economy in the Florida Keys. '!lucre are vast area's of Oceanfront and Day shoreline w, well es Bay Bottom and the Ocean floor that moat be cleaned up due to the last 100 years of neglect and disregard ol'the Marine environment. As a Marina owner we are moving iurwrard to obtain clean Marina status from the state. We have learned how important the interrelationships between private property owners a W government agencies are so that logical approach to taws and regulations maybe accomplished. This Cry -existence between the private & public sector in a smooth & logical manner will only help in the enhancement mud preservation of our Marine resources in the Florida Keys. B.

Other qualifications or information relevant to membership on the Advisory Council. I believe it is important that the Marina industry be represented on this.council in the tipper Keys. I grew up on the Hudson River watching and listening to Pete Srager trying to save this river. Today swimming and fishing are taking place just 10 miles north of New York City and this river has boen preserved. I lived on the Maine coast where I sailed and commercially fished for many years before moving to the Florida Keys. I was pelt of many cornmittees in the Marine Industry in the State of Maine. Now living in the Florida Keys t understand how important and valtiable the National Marine Sanctuary is to the surrounding ecosystem. We most also pay close attention to the everglades and its impact on the ecosystem within the Sanctuary.
