Mr. Pennington mentioned that the ECA is identifying sea grass beds and therefore should not be within the scope of the study. He added that there needs to be justification for doing the study. Mr. McAlpin replied that the justification would be to minimize the dredging in the future. Ken Humiston explained that the State wants the study to exhaust all possibilities without structures.
