The Open Ocean Trustee Implementation Group held our annual meeting on December 11, 2024, where we provided updates to the public on our restoration efforts. The presentation included an update on our recent restoration planning, including Draft Restoration Plan 4 which was released in October, as well as the work underway on our first joint restoration plan with the Louisiana Trustees to restore the Chandeleur Islands. We also provided updates on the progress of numerous ongoing restoration projects and monitoring and adaptive management activities. We concluded the webinar by taking questions from attendees.
We also created brief videos that provide updates and highlights for several of our restoration projects. Those videos are available at the Trustees’ YouTube channel or via the direct links below.
