Prioritizing Our Resources:
At our 2025 Local Working Group, facilitators introduced 14 major conservation priorities, ranging from Aquaculture and Forestry to Financial Assistance and Food Security. Participants collectively determined their highest priorities. The results clearly highlighted a unified community concern regarding water and coastal resilience.
