Ocean Planning Alert
September 12, 2008
As directed in the Oceans Act of 2008, the Massachusetts Executive Office of
Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) is undertaking a first-in-the-nation
effort to develop a comprehensive plan to manage development in state ocean
waters. To keep the public fully informed in this process, EEA will be
releasing these Ocean Planning Alerts, along with a quarterly electronic
newsletter (both also available in print). To get on the mailing list for
these products, and for direct notice of public meetings, please email
join-env-oceanplan at listserv.state.ma.us. In the near future, the EEA web
page will provide information about all aspects of the ocean planning
process.
Listening Sessions - The ocean plan development process is just beginning,
and the first step is to go out to the public and hear from Commonwealth
citizens on their goals for the ocean plan. These public meetings will be
held throughout the state, beginning in mid-September and continuing
throughout October. The first listening session is scheduled for Thursday,
September 18, at 7:00 p.m. in Boston's Faneuil Hall. The complete list of
listening sessions is below.
All meetings will be held at 7:00 p.m.
