He identified actions to aid in the Marine Issues initiative, requesting that a full-scale 
map of beach substrate areas be placed in the library, as the details cannot be 
discerned on the online map. He suggested that ADIMS be encouraged to share their 
knowledge of forage fish spawning area locations and historical background by placing 
this information in the library for the public’s use.
