issues.
The Mississippi/Louisiana group is part of a three-unit Habitat
Protection Advisory Panel (AP) to the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management
Council. The principal role of the advisory panels is to assist the
Council in attempting to maintain optimum conditions within the habitat
and ecosystems supporting the marine resources of the Gulf of Mexico.
Advisory panels serve as a first alert system to call to the Council's
attention proposed projects being developed and other activities which
may adversely impact the Gulf marine fisheries and their supporting
ecosystems. The panels may also provide advice to the Council on its
policies and procedures for addressing environmental affairs.
At this meeting, the AP will review coastal restoration projects in
Louisiana, oil spill response and natural resource damage assessment,
hypoxia in the Gulf and ways to address it, and Mississippi River water
diversion projects.
