Hudson Canyon Virtual Public Meeting 1

The NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) invites the public to participate in the first step in the process to potentially designate a new national marine sanctuary off the coast of New York and New Jersey. The Wildlife Conservation Society submitted a nomination for a Hudson Canyon National Marine Sanctuary in November 2016, noting that the area provides a wide range of benefits to New York and New Jersey residents such as clean air, fresh water, recreation, and food.

Individuals who plan on attending the virtual public meetings to give oral comments, and any other interested parties, must register in advance of the meeting using the registration links below.
