This meeting was originally scheduled for November 12-13, 2013, but was postponed due to the federal government shutdown.
The January 22-23 Regional Planning Body meeting will include a public review, revision, and approval of goals, objectives, and accompanying actions for regional ocean planning in the Northeast. It builds on previous RPB discussions and the extensive public input received during the public comment period earlier this year, the public meetings convened across New England in May and June, and through other engagement.
To help prepare for this next meeting, RPB members held three conference calls for updates and coordination. Summaries of these calls are available for the June 27th (PDF) (1pg, 336K), August 7th (PDF) (2pp, 402K), October 4th (PDF) (3pp, 472K), and November 13 (PDF) (3pp, 110K) discussions.
