  Panetta Visits SAC  

 

 

 



Mayor Anna Caballero of Salinas offers welcoming comments to SAC members

On February 25, 2002, Pew Oceans Commission Chair, Hon. Leon Panetta addressed the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council. Council Members invited him to the meeting to share his experiences with the Pew Oceans Commission. During his 90 minute presentation at the National Steinbeck Center in Salinas, Mr. Panetta touched on a number of topics including his involvement with the Sanctuary's original designation process as former congressman to the Monterey area, over a decade ago. Mr. Panetta's main theme was "collaboration", and he sited a number of key experiences in dealing with the process of consensus-building relative to resource management issues. He also summarized the resource protection concerns that the Commission has selected to study and make formal recommendations on in a report to Congress and the nation in Fall 2002.
