The NOAA RESTORE Science Program will be hosting six virtual engagement sessions in November where the program will provide a short overview of it’s recently released science plan, explain the public comment process for the plan, answer questions, and and ask participants a couple of questions about the plan which are listed below.
Attendees are encouraged to review the plan prior to joining a session. The draft science plan is available on the program’s website.
The virtual engagement sessions are open to anyone interested in learning more about the science plan. Each session is limited to the first 100 participants, so attendees are encouraged to join a few minutes early. Each session is anticipated to last about 30 minutes. To join a session, please go to this site at one of the times scheduled below
