Osborne Reef - Tires for Reef

[aue-mike]

*Which was endorsed by the USACE*

Like a lot of other questionable stuff in FL.

Now consultants make big bucks undoing it. Like CERP.

Also wanted to mention USACE is proceeding with the widening and deepening of Port Everglades (PEV), and they have proposed tire clean-up from Osborne Reef as part of their mitigation measures. So this RFP coming out of DEP was sort of surprising given discussions I was involved with immediately prior to my early retirement from NOAA, as I was assigned to develop the biological opinion for the PEV dredging project right there at the end. PEV was (and is) a **** show with a lengthy history of its own for those that may be aware.

Another of those 70's science ideas that was put into the real world. Then later decided to think about it and it wasn't really a good idea anyway. How to power a pacemaker so people don't have to have repeated surgeries to change the batteries? This is how Plutonium - Wikipedia

While the 70's were a start to being better, we still didn't know what we were really doing at that time.
