<p class=CZ-MailParagraph><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Regional
governance is a concept called for in the 2004 Final Report of the U.S. Commission
on Ocean Policy and is embodied in Oceans 21—federal legislation
currently moving through Congress that implements many of the Commission’s
recommendations. Massachusetts is a member of the Northeast Regional Ocean
Council, which was created by the New England Governors’ Association and
is one example of such a state-federal regional partnership. In general,
fisheries managers, either through Regional Fisheries Management Councils or
the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), have not participated in these
regional ocean partnerships. On May 5, CZM Director Leslie-Ann McGee
represented the </span></font><a href="http://www.coastalstates.org/"
target="_blank">Coastal States Organization</a> (CSO) before the nation’s
fishery management leadership meeting in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin
Islands, to encourage the Councils and NMFS to begin a dialogue regarding
participation in regional ocean initiatives, and to consider how these
partnerships can assist fisheries managers in implementing ecosystem-based
management.<o:p></o:p></p>

May 8, the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science & Transportation held a
hearing to discuss the state of U.S. climate modeling for decision makers and
other end users. Climate models allow scientists to understand the current
climate system and aid in the prediction of climate changes. The hearing
examined the current computing capacity to process models at the regional and
local scales, as well as what science and support is needed to develop the next
generation of climate models to assist future decision makers. Senators John
Kerry (Massachusetts) and Ted Stevens (Alaska) questioned a broad panel of
speakers on what is needed to best prepare for the climate change impacts the
states are facing. CZM Assistant Director Bruce Carlisle provided testimony
that covered climate change issues in the coastal zone, focusing on the
priority modeling and information needs as conveyed by coastal zone managers
around the country and highlighting the work being done in Massachusetts to
build effective coastal floodplain management strategies from the ground up. In
his testimony, Carlisle described CZM’s new </span></font><a

May 22, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved the
state’s proposal to designate the coastal waters of Cohasset, Scituate,

<p class=CZ-MailParagraph><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>EEA,
through CZM, has recommended that EPA approve designation of two new vessel No
Discharge Areas. The proposed bans on discharge of all boat sewage would apply
to the coastal waters of Boston Harbor (from Winthrop to Hull) and Cape Cod Bay
(from Provincetown to Marshfield). “Boston Harbor is cleaner now than it
has been for generations, thanks to decades of work by federal, state, and
local authorities, and clean water advocates. Protecting the many public
beaches and other resources throughout this stretch of urban coastline is a top
priority of the Patrick Administration,” said EEA Secretary Ian Bowles.
Regarding the Cape Cod Bay NDA, CZM Director Leslie-Ann McGee said, “In
addition to helping the communities apply for this NDA, CZM’s Coastal
Pollutant Remediation Grant Program is funding two new pumpouts in Dennis and
Provincetown. These unique facilities are capable of serving both recreational
and commercial vessels, and will be instrumental in making this NDA a
success.” These would be the Commonwealth’s 11<sup>th</sup> and 12<sup>th</sup>
NDAs, with an ultimate goal of all state waters designated as no discharge. See
