Hey Bill,

The county official staffing this
project had some good ideas. The first one
was keeping the project in house, or in
county at least. All of the partners in
the project are located within the
boundaries of the county. They work very
well together and get things done on a
regular basis. NOAA is involved to provide
their expertise in the equipments and advise
accordingly. Their input will be in place
at the next meeting in two weeks. The
partners will purchase, install, and maintain the equipments. NOAA will have
access to both real time and historical data
but no ownership in the project. The goal
is to have everything up and running before
the end of July and confidence is high at
this point. I will post a url when it comes
on line and give you folks a chance to see
my home waters, real time, without the long
drive.*G* Warm regards, Jim
