The Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council is urging the public to offer comments on how best to achieve conservation of at least 30% of the nation’s lands and waters by 2030. The announcement comes in the wake of the release in May by NOAA and federal partners of the Conserving and Restoring America the Beautiful report, a roadmap for a decade-long, inclusive, voluntary and locally-led conservation effort.
The goal is to restore 30% of the nation’s lands and waters by 2030 for the sake of the economy, and everyone’s health and well-being in the next nine years.
The first listening session was held on Thursday, Aug. 26, and the next one is set for Monday, Sept. 13 from noon to 3 p.m. Pacific time.
