The Open Ocean Restoration Area webinar was held on April 27, 2017 from 12:00-1:30 EST. The webinar introduced the Open Ocean Trustee Implementation Group and provided an overview of the settlement as well as early and initial restoration planning processes. We discussed our request for project ideas and our restoration goals and priorities, as well as next steps. The webinar had more than 200 attendees.
We are accepting project ideas through May 15, 2017. You can submit a project idea to our portal, or send questions to openocean.TIG@noaa.gov.
Unfortunately, due to a technical issue we do not have an audio recording from the webinar. You can download the presentation as well as a transcript of the remarks from the webinar. That transcript is also available in Vietnamese.
