Currents of Change
Currents of Change, NBEP's report on Narragansett Bay and
its watershed ecosystem, is now available! Visit our Currents
of Change page where you can download the report summary, technical
report and supporting documents. More than 75 scientists, resource
managers and stakeholders from Rhode Island and Massachusetts collaborated
to develop Currents of Change, the most comprehensive effort
to date to assess and report on environmental status and trends
of the bi-state Narragansett Bay Region. Currents of Change
is the first step toward NBEP's revision of the Narragansett Bay
Comprehensive Conservation Management Plan (CCMP). The CCMP is a
blueprint for the future which builds upon existing plans and initiatives,
developing stakeholder-based goals and priorities for protecting
and restoring the Bay and its watershed.
