The Northeast Regional Planning Body today announced the availability of an agenda for an upcoming Sept. 30 inaugural meeting of the Ecosystem-Based Management Working Group in Portsmouth, NH. The agenda includes a call-in number and webinar information for those who are unable to attend in person.
The purpose of the meeting is to review the group’s terms of reference, review progress on the development of marine life, benthic, and pelagic habitat spatial products, and review methodologies for synthesizing marine life, benthic, and pelagic variables.
Established in 2012 pursuant to the National Ocean Policy Executive Order, the Northeast RPB was formed to develop a coastal and marine plan for Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
