EBM in New York State: Taking the Next Steps
Ecosystem-based Management in New York State: Taking the Next Steps is a report by Dr. Sue Senecah and Dr. Jack Manno of SUNY College of Environmental Science & Forestry, and William Wise and David Conover of SUNY College, Stony Brook. This summary report was presented to the Council to inform future decisions regarding the next steps to advance EBM in New York State. It is based on the contributions of over 500 participants in five half-day dialogues held across the State in September and October 2006. The report expresses the goals and expectations of a broad diversity of stakeholders to proactively and collaboratively pursue ecosystem-based management in New York State as part of the New York State Ocean and Great Lakes Ecosystem Conservation Act.
