9/18/08 (7:00-9:00pm)
EEA Kickoff Public Listening Session
Great Hall, Faneuil Hall, Boston
Event Status:  Open to the Public

Description:  A first step in the development of the MA ocean-management plan is to hear from the citizens of the Commonwealth.  Eighteen listening sessions will be held throughout the state, beginning on September 18 at Faneuil Hall in Boston and continuing through October 30.  EEA is hosting these listening sessions to inform the public about the Oceans Act and solicit input on the development of the plan. For this round of public input, a main focus is on the overall goals of the ocean plan: in other words, what should the ocean plan seek to accomplish? Responses to that question will help EEA develop the conceptual framework for the draft plan.   

At each listening session, EEA will provide an overview of the Oceans Act and then ask for responses to questions and collect general comments on the development of an integrated ocean management plan for Massachusetts. Anyone interested in contributing to the plan development process is encouraged to submit written comments to: oceanplan@state.ma.us.
