Ocean Act of 2008• Ocean Management Task Force 2003‐2004: set of findings and recommendations
• Act directs Secretary of EEA to develop integrated ocean management plan by December 31, 2009
• 15 directives, including: – Develop siting priorities, locations, and standards for allowed uses, facilities, activities
– Identify and protect special, sensitive, and unique estuarine and marine life and habitats
– Foster sustainable uses– Support infrastructure necessary for economy and quality of life
• All state approvals must be consistent with Plan

Uses, activities and facilities subject to management
Renewable energy‐ Wind energy ‐ Tidal energy‐ Wave energy
Extraction of sand and gravel for beach nourishment and shore protectionTelecommunication and electric cablesPipelines for natural gasFish and shellfish aquaculture

Stakeholder process and participation
• Developing DRAFT plan:– Technical workgroups: data, science, technology – Public meetings throughout coast as well as inland communities
– Ocean Advisory Commission and Science Advisory Council meetings
– More than 100 individual stakeholder meetings– Five public workshops
• Vetting DRAFT plan:– Public comments: >300 letters, input– 5 formal hearings– 25 informational meetings
![Page 8: Bruce Carlisle Massachusetts Ocean Management: Capacity to develop and implement plan](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052620/55748d42d8b42a7f348b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Ocean Plan
• Draft Plan issued June 2009
• Final Plan promulgated December 2009
• Volume I– Management– Administration
• Volume II– Baseline Assessment– Science Framework
![Page 9: Bruce Carlisle Massachusetts Ocean Management: Capacity to develop and implement plan](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052620/55748d42d8b42a7f348b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Ocean Plan
• Prohibited area:– Uses, activities and facilities prohibited
• Renewable energy areas:– 2 areas: Gosnold, Vineyard
– Commercial‐scale wind
• Multi‐use area:– Siting and performance standards apply

Take away points• High profile: resources = scope / scale of effort
– “All‐hands”– Core planning team– GIS: maps and more maps– Massachusetts Ocean Partnership
• High level advisory bodies– Ground‐truthing– Politics
• Ongoing, sustained attention– Promulgate Plan … whew … but then work not done– Regulations, coastal program plan, project review– Addressing priority science and data gaps
