Secretary Ian Bowles released the draft comprehensive ocean management plan for

of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) and CZM, with broad support from the
Departments of Fish and Game and Environmental Protection. Mandated by the
Oceans Act of 2008, the draft plan was developed in the context of an extensive
and ongoing public participation process. Formal public hearings regarding the
plan have been scheduled for September 14 in Boston, September 15 in New
Bedford, September 16 in Barnstable, and September 17 in Gloucester. For

bi-annual, international conference on coastal management, was held in Boston.
On July 20, Secretary Bowles welcomed conference participants at the opening
plenary, which featured Dr. Jane Lubchenco, National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) Administrator; Laura Davis, Associate Deputy Secretary
for the U.S. Department of Interior; and Suzanne Schwartz, Acting Director of
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of Wetlands,
Oceans and Watersheds. CZM Director Deerin Babb-Brott moderated the local
plenary on July 22, which included opening remarks from Lieutenant Governor
Timothy Murray and a panel on the Draft Massachusetts Ocean Management Plan
with state Senator Robert O’Leary (Cape and Islands); Jack Wiggin,
Director of the Urban Harbor Institute; Rich Delaney, Director of the
Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies and chair of the Massachusetts Ocean
Partnership governing board; and Paul Diodati, Director of the Massachusetts
Division of Marine Fisheries. CZM had a very strong presence at this five-day
event, making presentations, moderating sessions, leading field trips, and
networking with peers from around the globe. CZM staff gave talks and
facilitated sessions on the following wide-ranging topics: the draft ocean
plan, smart growth and CZM's StormSmart Coasts Program, remote sensing, climate
change adaptation, working waterfronts, education and outreach, harbor
planning, no discharge areas, marine spatial data, regional sediment
management, and water quality. For the conference proceedings, see the </span><a

Program (WRP) merged with the Riverways Program to create a new Division of
Ecological Restoration within the Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game
(DFG). This new division will be focused on pro-active ecological restoration
of coastal and inland aquatic systems, an important step in the advancement of
restoration efforts in the Commonwealth and beyond, as it will be the first
state division of its kind in the nation. WRP joined CZM in 2003 and made
significant progress in advancing CZM’s programmatic interests in the
restoration of coastal wetlands. WRP is currently working with partners to
develop more than 40 active priority projects in the coastal zone and is
committed to supporting and advancing those projects toward implementation. CZM
looks forward to continued collaboration with WRP to restore coastal habitats
and wishes good luck to Hunt Durey, Georgeann Keer, and Jeremy Bell in their
new home at DFG.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
