Public Meetings

Public meetings are an integral part of the Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management's routine evaluations of state coastal management programs and national estuarine research reserves. The meetings give the public an opportunity to comment on the effectiveness of the state coastal management program or national estuarine research reserve in carrying out the goals of the Coastal Zone
Management Act.
