The Northeast Regional Ocean Council will hold a public meeting on Thursday, Apr. 13. Discussion topics include Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA)-funded projects, opportunities for collaboration with regional partners implementing IIJA projects related to ocean planning, ecosystem health, and coastal hazards and resilience, development of the Regional Wildlife Science Collaborative’s Integrated Science Plan for Wildlife, Habitat, and Offshore Wind Energy in U.S. Atlantic Waters, and NROC’s Habitat Classification and Ocean Mapping Subcommittee’s Seascape project.
A meeting agenda and briefing packet will be made available prior to the meeting, and remote participation will be available. Meeting registration is accessible here.
NROC is a regional ocean partnership formed in 2005 by the Governors of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut to provide a voluntary forum for states and federal partners to coordinate and collaborate on the development of goals and priorities and address regional coastal and ocean management challenges with creative solutions that support balanced uses and conservation of the Northeast’s ocean and coastal resources.
