<div>My guess is that it is too late for JIm to get on the list.
I am replacing Susan Avery for WHOI, and I'm sure that can't change.
My position as Director of CINAR allows me to mention our Institute
and what we can do to help NOAA, but I was not invited as a CINAR
rep. It's just an opportunity that we can take advantage
of.</div>

<div>Is Jim the main person for me to work with at Maine in preparing
the testimony?</div>

rational way to do it in coastal waters.</blockquote>

Right now I am thinking that this will just be testimony, but they

Dr. Avery,<br>
<br>
Per a conversation with Diane, I am attaching a one-pager on the<br>
upcoming Ocean Policy Task Force hearing in Providence on 9/24. The
Task<br>
Force is requesting expert testimony from individuals on 8
different<br>
topics: Ocean governance, Renewable Energy,
Fisheries/aquaculture,</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>Climate change/hazard resilience, Marine
recreation, Ecosystem-based<br>
management/restoration, Research and Science and Tribes.<br>
<br>
We would like to have someone from WHOI speak to the Research &
Science<br>
topic. This person will be asked to provide five minutes of
testimony<br>
and would ideally tie their remarks to the focus of the Task
Force's<br>
charge, marine spatial planning.<br>
<br>
I understand you will be out of the country during the hearing, and
hope<br>
that you could recommend someone to represent WHOI in your place.
CEQ<br>
would like to send out formal invites ASAP, so there is a slight
amount<br>
of urgency on this one as you can imagine. Thanks in advance for
your<br>
help, and I look forward to meeting you in person sometime soon.<br>
