WEBCAST OF PLENARY EVENTS
Opening Session
Implementing the Vision for Ocean and Coastal Protection
Monday, September 18, 8:15 a.m. - 9:45 a.m.
The California Ocean Protection Council and NOAA Administrator Vice Admiral Conrad Lautenbacher will open the conference with their vision on how to improve ocean and coastal protection in California and across the nation. After a welcome to the City of Long Beach from Mayor Bob Foster, Vice Admiral Lautenbacher will describe new developments in national ocean and coastal policy. The California Ocean Protection Council (OPC) members will hold a roundtable discussion regarding their expectations for this unique conference and their vision for action in implementing their new Five-Year Strategic Plan. The OPC voting members are Secretary for Resources Mike Chrisman, State Controller Steve Westly, and Secretary for Environmental Protection Linda Adams. State Senator Sheila Kuehl (represented at CWO ‘06 by Bill Craven), and State Assembly-member Pedro Nava serve as ex-officio OPC members. This session will be web cast live from this Web site.
Ocean Commissions' Luncheon
From Sea to Shining Sea: Progress on Implementing the National Ocean Commissions' Recommendations
Monday, September 18, 12:45 p.m. - 1:45 p.m.
Since the Pew Oceans Commission and U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy issued their final reports in 2003 and 2004, California and other coastal states have responded rapidly with state ocean plans to implement their recommendations. President George W. Bush released the U.S. Ocean Action Plan, and several bills have been introduced in Congress. However, many of the major recommendations in the Commissions’ reports have not been addressed at the federal level, and renewed focus is needed to implement priority changes. In June 2006, the Joint Ocean Commission Initiative, composed of members of both Commissions, released the report From Sea to Shining Sea: Priorities for Ocean Policy Reform to set clear priorities for action. This luncheon, moderated by California Assistant Secretary for Ocean and Coastal Policy Brian Baird, will feature Pew Oceans Commission Chair and Joint Ocean Commission Initiative Co-Chair Leon Panetta and the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy Executive Director Dr. Thomas Kitsos. The panel will discuss the nation’s progress toward implementing the recommendations of the Commissions’ reports and highlight the priorities for moving forward. This session will be webcast live from this Web site.
