Earth Search Sciences Collects Images in Florida Over Citrus Groves and
the Everglades
KALISPELL, Mont., Jan. 30, 2001--Earth Search Sciences,
Inc. (ESSI)(OTCBB:EDIS - news), (http://www.earthsearch.com), today
announced that Eco Probe, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Earth Search
Sciences, Inc., has flown over parts of the Florida Everglades in an
effort to identify weed species which are overrunning the park.
``Two years ago, in conjunction with the Boeing Company, we identified
one napweed plant standing alone in Southern Montana on Ted Turner's
ranch. Napweed is a non-indigenous species of weed that is engulfing the
West at a rate of 4000 acres per day. We also identified noxious weed
habitat during the same collection. We believe we can make a
contribution to the park by locating the species of weeds the park
service needs to eradicate,'' said Chuck Eubank, CEO of Eco Probe. ``We
will know more after the processing of the imagery is completed.''
Eco Probe is dedicated to applying ESSI's technology in the
environmental and agricultural fields. Eco Probe will market its
services on a global basis using the state of the art Probe 1 to collect
imagery. Data will be marketed to a variety of clients including both
public and private entities.
Applications for this kind of data include environmental monitoring of
both land and aquatic habitat for chemical and biological detection,
species identification regarding invasive plant life, watershed
monitoring and agricultural monitoring.
``If we intend to micro manage our environment, we will need detailed
information on a micro level,'' said Chuck Eubank. ``This kind of
information collected on a regular basis will help us to build a base
line for monitoring our environment and to build an archive for future
reference necessary to measure our progress. Governments and private
companies will need to purchase this type of information as a regular
part of their every day business in order to meet their obligations as
stewards of the planet.''
