Ecology & Economy Workshop
This world-café style workshop will engage participants in addressing our greatest ecological and economic challenge: How do we begin to restore past destruction of wetlands and the filling of the NY-NJ Harbor, and provide ongoing protection of the environment while still maintaining our economy and promoting ongoing economic development? Participants will generate ideas and approaches to this and then prioritize the ideas to see which are most promising. Results will be used to inform implementation of the Comprehensive Waterfront Plan and other important harbor and waterfront plans in New York and New Jersey.
Moderator: Doug Sarno, Forum Facilitation Group
