• Report from the Director, March 2008 - At the March 2008 NBEP Management Committee meeting, a revised version of the Bay and Watershed status and trends narrative will be reviewed and plans will be discussed for a Fall 2008 public forum to not just present the results of the S&T work but also to engage watershed stakeholders and citizens in identifying solutions to overcoming obstacles to progress on ecosystem goals. One way of funding this event may be through a foundation grant to provide facilitation, design assistance and the development of tools that allow and promote public engagement in both designing what the event will look like and defining the outcomes that it will seek to achieve. One possible option under consideration for the event is the use of new social networking technologies to support the process. As part of this, we may consult with a Providence-based web technologies association. Read More.

Get ready for summer!!
