The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) plans to hold a virtual public meeting on February 24, 2025, to gather input on the performance evaluation of the Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve (JCNERR). Members of the public are encouraged to provide oral comments during this meeting by registering as speakers or submit written feedback via email by March 7, 2025. The evaluation is part of NOAA's periodic reviews mandated by the Coastal Zone Management Act to assess whether the reserve continues to meet national standards and adhere to its management plan. More information, including past evaluation findings, is available on NOAA's website.
Simple Explanation
NOAA is having an online meeting to talk about a special place where the ocean and land meet, and they want to know what people think about it. People can also write their ideas in an email if they can't talk during the meeting.
