these existing sources of rental housing,
and permission in regulations to permit
owner-occcupied dwellings to construct such

owner control, should provide a viable

tion:
"While a number of preliminary studies and
reports have been generated in recent years
about the possibility of nutrient

treatment methods, none have been published
in refereed scientific journals, and none
have been conducted as a part of a
coherently-designed scientific evaluation
of submerged marine habitats and water
quality in the area. Therefore, the
following discussion can only be considered
tentative at best."
Motion carried unanimously.

the Honorable Bob Graham and Connie Mack, to
direct the National Academy of Sciences to
create a task force, composed of qualified but
disinterested academic scientists, to:
(a) examine all data and research

(b) develop a detailed scope of
research, and appropriate timetable
and budget, to carefully and
thoroughly document the existing
state of these resources and water

quality to provide a baseline of
information from which future
monitoring can be measured; and to
identify what, if any problems
exist, and make specific,
measurable, policy recommendations
for their correction; and
(c) serve as the oversight committee
for the execution of this research,
hiring qualified but disinterested
scientists, supervising data
collection, and ensuring all
scientific and professional standards
of quality control are met.
"Monroe County will also formally request that
the Congress of the United States allocate the
necessary funds to the National Academy of
Sciences to convene this scientific task force
and allow them to develop the scope of work,
timetable, and budget. At that point, funding
sources will be sought to assure the entire
scope of work is completed, under the task
force's supervision. Results of the research
will then provide an appropriately professional
basis for developing policies and guidelines
for further water quality management practices,
both for local and state government, and for
the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary."
