Our Waters, Our Communities, Our Future: Taking Bold Action Now to Achieve
Long-Term Sustainability of New York's Ocean and Great Lakes

Monday, March 2nd at 3:00 pm

Urban Center Gallery
457 Madison Avenue, first floor

Community conversation about the draft report of the New York Ocean and Great Lakes Ecosystem Conservation Council, released January 29. The draft report reviews the Council's achievements since being created by a 2006 State law and recommends priority actions to implement the principles of Ecosystem-based Management (EBM). EBM is a set of principles that includes human communities in ecosystems and applies a more holistic management approach to decisions to achieve healthy sustainable ocean and Great Lakes. In particular, the Great South Bay of Long Island is one of two demonstration areas that the law identified to serve as living laboratories for implementing EBM.

Sponsored by the New York Ocean and Great Lakes Ecosystem Conservation Council and locally co-sponsored by the MWA.
