Public Hearings/Scoping
Scoping Meetings & Public Hearings are considered an important step in the management process because they give stakeholders an opportunity to:
- Learn more about proposed actions and management measures being considered by the Council;
- Speak with Council members and staff about the draft actions being considered, and
- Give formal public comment on the record about their ideas and suggestions on the proposed measures.
