National Sea Grant College Program
Regional Planning Workshop
On May 7-8, Sea Grant regional coordinators and PIs participated in a workshop in Silver Spring to highlight NOAA Sea Grant's Regional Research and Information planning efforts. Representatives of all of the regional planning teams shared their progress, learned from each other, and discussed ways of improving the value of the process to stakeholders. The workshop also featured a panel discussion with NOAA regional planning leadership and helped strengthen the connection with NOAA's emerging regional activities. National Sea Grant Office staffers Jamie Krauk and Megan Agy did an outstanding job of organizing the workshop. The agenda is posted online at: http://www.seagrant.noaa.gov/newsevents/newsevents.html
