Private Sector and NGO Support for Clean, Healthy Estuaries
The recently formed Congressional Estuary Caucus focused its first briefing on Federal Agencies responsible for estuary protection and restoration. The second briefing in May focused on practitioners in the field, and included directors of several National Estuary
Programs and a manager of the National Estuarine Research Reserves. This third briefing will focus on private sector and NGO support for clean and healthy estuaries, on which the economies of our coastal regions depend. Briefers include: • Lynda Weatherman, President of the Space Coast Economic Development Council in Florida • Bill Dewey, Public Affairs Director for Taylor Shellfish in Washington state: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUquwNPPrvY • Bob Musser - American Association of Port Authorities • Brian Harmon - Aquaculture/Husbandry Manager of Atlantic Cape Fisheries, and a spokesperson for the Shellfish industry in New Jersey and along the Atlantic coast. We look forward to seeing you there!!! Please RSVP to Valentina Valenta in Congressman Bill Posey’s office at valentina.valenta@mail.house.gov (202-225-3671). |
