You are invited to a workshop hosted by MARCO and Surfrider
Foundation, on behalf of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Planning Body’s
Non-consumptive Recreation Work Group, to engage the public in a discussion
of the value of important non-consumptive recreational areas and the
activities they sustain. The event will be held Oct. 11 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Pizza and beverages will be served.
The Mid-Atlantic Regional Council on the Ocean (MARCO) and Surfrider
Foundation are co-hosting a series of four workshops throughout the
Mid-Atlantic region to convene ocean recreational users to provide input
to the Mid-Atlantic Regional Planning Body’s Non-Consumptive Recreation
Work Group. Workshops are being conducted in support of implementation
of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Ocean Action Plan action:
Identify,
characterize, and share information about measures to maintain the
recreational value of important non-consumptive recreational areas and
the activities they sustain.
Workshop objectives:
- To begin to define what it would mean for ocean and coastal uses and
areas to be considered important for non-consumptive recreation;
- To solicit ideas for a process to identify and assess potential
impacts and use conflicts to important non-consumptive recreational uses
from other human uses, as well as potential impacts and conflicts
between non-consumptive recreational uses and marine and coastal
resources; and
- To explore ideas for effective two-way engagement processes to share
information with and solicit input from ocean recreation users.
Please pre-register to make sure there is enough pizza!
