We had a large turn out at today's Interagency Task Force on Ocean Policy public meeting in Anchorage. I would estimate between 300 and 350 people attended.

We heard from several panels and took questions from the floor. Over 60 people spoke at the meeting which lasted over 3 1/2 hours.

There were diverse opinions from various stakeholders, citizens, corporations, non governmental organizations, tribal leaders, academicians, and local government representatives.

The results of the meeting will be made available to the public once it is collated. We will be posting more on the issues raised at the meeting,
