Please join us this
Thursday, January 11th, from 2-3:30ET for the second
installment in the AFWA webinar series on U.S. marine protected area (MPA)
programs. Thursday’s webinar will be focusing on MPA Programs at NOAA.
Each webinar in this series
will feature presentations on individual federal agency MPA programs and will
discuss legal authorities, program objectives, designation processes,
management approaches, relationships with state governments, stakeholder
engagement and public involvement. The webinars will be formatted to allow for
interactive discussion and questions with the federal agency representatives
after each formal presentation. Please see the attached invitation and below
