CRMC seeking volunteers for the R.I. Fishermen’s Advisory Board (FAB)
The Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Council (CRMC) is continuing to look for volunteers to further develop and expand the R.I. Fishermen’s Advisory Board (FAB). Members of the FAB, will play a crucial role in guiding the CRMC’s efforts to plan for, regulate, and mitigation the impacts of other marine uses on R.I.’s commercial and recreational fisheries and fishermen.
The FAB is established under the Ocean Special Area Management Plan (OSAMP) and is intended to be used as a tool to better guide CRMC staff and Council in its permitting and review processes for ocean development. As such, the FAB’s foundation is based on your expertise and a commitment to representing R.I. fisheries, the public interest, collaborative effort, and continuous learning.
If you are interested and have any questions about serving on this board, please reach out to Kevin Sloan, Offshore Wind Lead (ksloan@crmc.ri.gov; (401) 332-8792)) or Principal Ocean Engineer Justin Wolf Skenyon (jskenyon@crmc.ri.gov; (401 783-3370)) should you have any questions.
Thank you for your consideration,
Jeffrey M. Willis, Executive Director
R.I. Coastal Resources Management Council
