Rhode Island's Project to Zone Its Offshore Waters

"Rhode Island is kicking off an innovative project to zone its offshore waters for diverse activities, including renewable energy development. The Ocean Special Area Management Plan (SAMP), to be developed by the Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Council (CRMC) and the University of Rhode Island (URI), with funding through the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation, will be a two-year research and planning process that integrates the best available science with open public input and involvement." - excerpt from NOAA's Coastal Management News, October 2008 issue.
