Please copy and past this letter into an email and send it to Lynne Arrott at lynne@cdip.ucsd.edu . Your support in this matter will go far towards getting our own offshore wave/weather reporting buoy offshore of Saint Lucie Inlet...

Dear Senators Nelson and LeMieux and Representative Rooney:

On behalf of (insert your name and/or agency), I enthusiastically endorse the valuable data and services provided by the Coastal Data Information Program (CDIP) at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and encourage you to support increased funding for the program.

CDIP (http://cdip.ucsd.edu) is a collaborative program between the US Army Corps of Engineers and the State of California that measures, models and forecasts ocean waves along the coastal United States. All data are made available publicly and are accessed regularly by thousands of military personnel, lifeguards, coastal engineers, boaters, fishermen, harbormasters, bar pilots, marine transporters, divers, and surfers. Without these data, life and property would be at risk. I support the expansion of CDIP’s buoy network, including the deployment of a new station at Florida’s St. Lucie Inlet.

(Insert a few sentences on how you use CDIP and why you want a new buoy)

Thank you for your attention to this request, and please feel free to contact me if I may be of assistance.

Sincerely,

(Insert your name here)

Adding your letter to my forum as well. It would be very beneficial to have the buoy.

How much longer will they be taking letters? I might be able to get a mention in the April edition of the Treasure Coast Coastal Angler if there is enough time and space permits.

There is no time limit on the letters. Keep them coming. Lynne was on vacation this past week. I will get an update on the count she has on Monday or Tuesday. Please see if you can get this posted in the TCCA and let me know if you do so I can pick up a copy. Where might I find one?
