The interpretive signs were focused on <br />providing an educational component to the park, by educating park visitors on the <br />importance of the park site as a turtle nesting habitat and on the impact of human <br />intervention on the sensitivity of their survival. The signs were designed in a way so <br />each plaque (only one shown above) was dedicated to each of the four species know to <br />nest on Marathon Key. The plaques were also accompanied by a series of informational <br />matrices that provided basic information about each species, as compared to one <br />another - such as size, habitat, food and unique characteristics. The signs were all <br />fabricated using an innovative polymer laminate that was UV A and UVB resistant, as <br />well as they could sustain severe impacts without incurring any damage (we tested the <br />material by taking a hammer to a sample of the product where it didn't get a scratch) <br />and spray paint could be easily washed off with a quick solvent. The photograph shown <br />above was shot eight years after installation, and the vividness of the color and newness <br />of the sign material still remains intact as it was when it was initially installed. <br /> <br />12-4941 Sunny Isles Beach Intracoastal Parks <br /> <br />Client <br />City of Marathon <br /> <br />Contact Information <br />at Time of Project <br />Craig Wrathell <br />City Manager <br />9805 Overseas Highway <br />Marathon, Florida 33050 <br /> <br />Project Date <br />2001 <br /> <br />Services Provided <br />Landscape Architecture <br />Graphic Design <br />Construction Administration <br /> <br />Project Manager <br />Tammy Cook-Weedon, <br />ASLA, RLA, LEED AP <br />
