Public Meetings : NOAA Gulf Spill Restoration

Public Meetings : NOAA Gulf Spill Restoration | Sustainability Science | Scoop.it

During the Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) process, the trustees are engaging with the public to explain NRDA and to solicit comments and input on the restoration plan as needed. The most prominent forum to engage the public is through the use of public meetings. The trustees are presenting a series of public meetings in each Gulf state.

PIRatE Lab's insight:

Public meetings this month are a chance for folks to give input as to the Deepwater Horizon Spill restoration plan.
