  Description of Request: Provide an earmark of $900,000 for the 
Alabama Computer Forensics Laboratories (Personnel $575,000; Benefits 
$150,000; Travel $20,000; Equipment $50,000; Supplies $35,000; Other

local sources. This appropriation request is for a continuation of the 
computer forensic lab program which created 3 regional computer labs to 
cover the entire state

[[Page E1451]]

of Alabama. These labs were created to address all forms of computer 
crime such as; child pornography, fraud, and identity theft. The 
computer labs utilize working relationships with federal, state and 
local agencies across the nation and are the only law enforcement 
agency exclusively handling computer crime cases from investigation to 
prosecution. Monetary losses from computer-related crime exceed that of 
the illegal drug trade worldwide and it is estimated that computer 
crimes will double in the US in the next 2 years. In 3 years, the 
program has assisted more than 75 outside law enforcement agencies and 
analyzed more than 2000 pieces of electronic evidence in approximately 
851 criminal cases resulting in a multitude of convictions. Funding 
will create at least 2 jobs in the First District and will prevent 
victimization statewide.

Acquisition of Central Infrastructure (the control center for the 
security network), [2] Bay Minette Courthouse Technology, [3] Fairhope 
Satellite Courthouse Technology and [4] Foley Satellite Courthouse 
Technology. For the acquisition of central infrastructure, 
approximately $134,000 will be used ($45,000 for servers, $78,000 for 
network and storage, and $11,000 for camera archiving software). Bay 
Minette Courthouse Technology will use $210,000 ($42,400 for network,

  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Dauphin Island Sea Lab
  Address of Requesting Entity: 101 Bienville Blvd. Dauphin Island AL 
36528
  Description of Request: Provide an earmark of $750,000 to fund a 
joint initiative between the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, a state-funded 
research and educational entity, and the University of South Alabama, a 
public institution, to research commercial fisheries critical to the 
state's economy and tourism. Recreational and commercial fisheries and 
tourism, as well as the businesses they support, are dependent on 
healthy stocks of fish which require effective science-based 
management. Management decisions which impact the region's economy need 
to be made on current research data--this study will provide data to 
the National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA and the Gulf of Mexico 
Fishery Management Council. This ecosystem-based fisheries management 
study on three species with a large economic importance in the Northern 
Central Gulf of Mexico--Spanish mackerel, adult red drum, and pompano--
will look at the species' coastal migratory patterns in shallow coastal 
waters. This study will include the biological aspects of these coastal 
pelagic fishes as well as the historical and current socioeconomic 
impacts these fisheries have on the local fishing communities. With the 
results of this study, fishery management decisions can be made from 
effective and science based data. The funds will support students, 
research technicians, and senior scientists at the Dauphin Island Sea 
Lab. Approximately $525,000 (70%) will go towards research personnel 
and day to day operations of the various vessels, equipment and 
supplies; and $225,000 (30%) will be for project management, overhead 
and administration.

$100,000; Wiring and Hardware--$50,000; Monitoring of cameras--
$25,000.The transient worker population of Baldwin County has doubled 
recently. The City of Foley has expanded public services to accommodate 
its changing population, but public spaces have seen an increase in 
underage drinking, sexual encounters, vandalism and violence. 
Installation of some security cameras has successfully diminished 
illegal activities in public spaces in this high tourist-traffic city 
adjacent to Alabama's beaches. While no match is required, Foley will 
provide for maintenance and monitoring in the out years of the project.

  Address of Requesting Entity: 205 Government Street, Mobile, AL 36644
  Description of Request: Provide an earmark of $600,000 to replace and 
enhance existing tidal gauges with new gauges capable of collecting 
data for a 30 foot storm surge. Mobile County, AL, is a gulf-front 
county, prone to natural disasters. During Hurricane Katrina, all of 
the existing tidal gauges were rendered inoperable as they were not 
equipped to handle such a strong storm surge. Tidal gauges measure 
changes in sea level and help predict and document the severity of 
storms. Residents, businesses, and emergency management personnel rely 
on properly functioning tidal gauges so they can adequately respond to 
natural disasters and prepare warnings and evacuations accordingly. Six 
new gauges are required (costing $100,000 each). This is a one-year 
funding request that will have long-term coastal emergency management 
benefits for this coastal county and popular tourist destination.

education and leadership development programs of Team Focus, Inc. Team

young men year round in 7 camps across the country (AL, OH, TX, MI, CA, 
DC, TN). Funds would provide curriculum development, equipment, and

to jail, Team Focus offers--for most of the young men--the only 
leadership training and male mentorship they have. Former First Lady 
Laura Bush has praised Team Focus for teaching fatherless boys what it 
means to acquire skills, find a job, support a family and be loyal to 
one. Approximately $120,000 (or 24%) for equipment to transport youth 
to program activities throughout the year; $150,000 (or 30%) for

  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Town of Dauphin Island, AL
  Address of Requesting Entity: 1011 Bienville Boulevard, Dauphin 
Island, AL 36528
  Description of Request: Provide an earmark of $1,500,000 to conduct a 
comprehensive engineering feasibility/design study to determine if 
construction of an engineered beach will stabilize this critical 
barrier island and maintain its purpose as a hurricane buffer for the 
Alabama coastline. The comprehensive study will include a review of the 
most probable technical approach, design engineering, sand source 
identification, dredging and habitat restoration ($1,100,000), and 
planning costs for permitting and environmental compliance ($400,000). 
As a barrier island, Dauphin Island protects Alabama's coastline from 
severe storm damage thereby saving more inland populated communities 
from more severe hurricane destruction. The island also fosters tourism 
and a significant commercial and recreational fishing industry 
supporting county and state revenue as well as thousands of jobs. This 
funding will complete the study. The Town of Dauphin Island will 
provide a matching cost share if necessary, but a match requirement is 
not anticipated, subject to program identification.
