On April 29, 2019, the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council (Council) staff hosted and recorded the Planning Framework Draft- Public Comment webinar. This Planning Framework draft is provided to support the Council’s commitment to transparency, collaboration, and advancement of best available science in the Council’s decision-making process. The webinars provided an overview of the Planning Framework draft, and responded, in real time to selected questions from webinar participants. The recorded webinar and a list of all questions and responses from each webinar is currently available as part of our RESTORE Education Opportunities Series.  

On April 26, 2019, the Council staff began a 45-day public review and comment period on the Planning Framework draft, that will conclude at 11:59 pm MDT on June 12, 2019. In order to give the public additional opportunities to learn about the Planning Framework draft, ask questions, and provide comments, the RESTORE Council is hosting public meetings in each of the Gulf Coast states during the public comment period. The public is invited to review the Planning Framework draft and provide input to ensure restoration investments fit into a broad vision of the Gulf of Mexico.
