ERG supports High-Level Strategy to Restore Gulf of Mexico Ecosystems
ERG, part of the AEA group, supported the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other members of a high-level Task Force in the development of an important restoration strategy for the Gulf of Mexico.
Using an ERG-produced video presentation, Task Force Chair and EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson presented the strategy at the 2011 State of the Gulf of Mexico Summit in Houston Texas. The Task Force delivered the final strategy on Friday 2 December 2011 to President Barack Obama.
The Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Task Force was created by President Obama through an Executive Order on October 5, 2010. It is made up of representatives from the five Gulf States and 11 federal agencies. ERG provided extensive support to the Task Force in developing the strategy document, incorporating public comments and producing the final printed strategy and accompanying video.
The strategy represents an unprecedented collaboration to prepare the Gulf region to address the decades-long challenges to the Gulf’s ecosystems.
