Billions of dollars have been obligated to several different restoration and recovery processes in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Given the focus of these processes, there is the potential for overlap – not only among the various processes, but also with many existing plans and programs. This overlap makes coordination essential, from development of plans, programs, and projects through funding and implementation.

This webinar brought together representatives from federal, state, and local government to discuss how coordination and leveraging are playing a role in Gulf restoration. The goal of this webinar was to understand what opportunities are available, and what more can be done, to make Gulf restoration greater than the sum of its parts.

Panelists:

• Justin Ehrenwerth, Executive Director of Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council

• Jim Muller, Bay County (FL) RESTORE Act Coordinator

• Kelly Samek, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission
