Stakeholder Engagement in Long Island Sound NECAN held its sixth and final stakeholder engagement workshop in Shelton, Connecticut on January 11 in conjunction with the NOAA Milford Aquaculture Seminar. Almost 40 stakeholders from both Connecticut and New York attended the meeting and discussed ocean acidification observations and issues that are specific to Long Island Sound. The meeting summary from the workshop is currently being compiled and will soon be available on the NECAN website. Progress towards an Implementation Plan Work continues towards writing our implementation plan. Upcoming Meetings NECAN will be presenting at both the Social Coast Forum and the Maine Fishermen’s Forum in 2016.
