Mid-Atlantic Regional Planning Body Public Stakeholder Meeting

Join Us for the Mid-Atlantic Regional Planning Body Public Stakeholder Meeting

Sept. 24 and 25 at Monmouth University  

The Mid-Atlantic Regional Planning Body (MidA RPB) will hold its inaugural in-person meeting on Sept. 24-25 at Monmouth University.  The meeting will take place in the Wilson Hall Auditorium, located at 400 Cedar Avenue in West Long Branch, New Jersey.  

Please mark your calendars, and click here to register.  The meeting is open to the public and includes a number of public input opportunities.  

 The meeting agenda, logistical details, and materials are available for review on the MidA RPB website.   

Topics to be discussed by the MidA RPB during the meeting include:  a timeline for regional ocean planning and associated products; initial draft regional ocean planning goals and the geographic focus; mechanisms for engaging stakeholders throughout the process; and next steps regarding data/information and operational considerations.  

 The MidA RPB has informal, ad hoc workgroups composed of RPB members that are developing initial ideas about these topics for discussion during the meeting.  These early ideas are captured in materials which are posted on the MidA RPB website for review in advance of the meeting.  The MidA RPB welcomes and encourages stakeholder input about these ideas and any other aspects of regional ocean planning.  Please provide input to the MidA RPB in writing via email at MidAtlanticRPB@boem.gov or in-person at the Sept. 24-25 meeting.  Please check the website often for additional details about the meeting and the process overall.
