The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has scheduled a new listening session on the Ocean Policy Strategic Action Plans via telephone conference on June 29, 12:30pm, Pacific Standard Time.<\/p>\n
According to Andy Winer, director of NOAA\u2019s Strategic Partnerships and Initiatives, the new listening session is necessary due to the technical difficulties that disrupted the Pacific region’s first listening session.<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite our contract with the Neil S. Blaisdell Center, the facility’s Internet service was non-functional for much of the afternoon, and, as a result, we were unable to operate the satellite hook-up,\u201d he said. \u201cWe remain committed to receiving comments from stakeholders throughout the Pacific and would like to extend the opportunity to join a makeup session.\u201d<\/p>\n
To participate, contact Winer\u2019s deputy, James Chang, at james.chang@noaa.gov, so he can share the dial-in information and ensure that there are enough lines available on the conference call.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease be certain to indicate which island you will be calling from, so that he can include appropriate instructions to join the call toll-free,\u201d Winer added.<\/p>\n
