ACTION PLAN FOR OCEAN HEALTH

The Governors of Oregon, Washington, and California have just released a Draft Action Plan as part of the West Coast Governors Agreement on Ocean Health. The plan identifies specific actions for the three states to undertake to address the following priority areas: a) clean waters and beaches; b) healthy ocean & coastal habitats; c) ecosystem-based management; d) offshore development; e) ocean literacy; f) ocean science; and g) sustainable economic development. The report is available online at http://westcoastoceans.gov/ and the deadline for submitting public comments is December 1st. Oregon Chapter is looking for volunteers to help review the plan and develop written recommendations. If you are interested in helping out, please contact Pete pstauffer@surfrider.org. Mahalo!
