>> The Ocean Protection Council (OPC) is working closely with the  
>> California and the University of Southern California Sea Grant  
>> programs to improve scientific understanding in high priority  
>> issue areas. As a first step, the OPC is supporting the West Coast  
>> Sea Grant programs initiative to develop a Regional Research and  
>> Information Plan for the California Current Large Marine  
>> Ecosystem.  This effort is a high priority in the West Coast  
>> Governors'Agreement on Ocean Health which was announced at the  
>> California and the World Ocean 2007 Conference in Long Beach,  
>> California.
>>
>> An important component of this effort is a stakeholder-driven  
>> process to prioritize research and information needs for the West  
>> Coast.  The goal of Sea Grant and the OPC is to involve the  
>> broadest possible range of ocean and coastal interests in the  
>> process, including coastal residents, scholars and researchers;  
>> community organizations, marine conservation groups, state and  
>> local governments, resource managers at both the state and federal  
>> levels, and any person or group who depends on ocean resources for  
>> livelihood or recreation.
>>
>> Four stakeholder workshops will be held in California throughout  
>> the fall of 2007. All are invited and encouraged to attend.  If  
>> you are not able to attend, please feel free to provide input  
>> through the Sea Grant online survey.  More information about the  
>> workshops and the online survey are located at: http://www.usc.edu/
