What the heck is that?

U.S. Mainland coastline = 4,983 mi U.S. Gulf of Mexico coastline = 1,621 mi = 33%

Governors’ Action Plan for Healthy and Resilient Coasts Governors of AL, FL, LA, MS & TX Gulf of Mexico Alliance Alliance Management Team Convened by the AMT Chair and/or Executive Director Governor’s Representatives & Alternates and Representatives from EPA, NOAA & DOI Federal Workgroup CEQ & 12 Federal Agencies, convened by: NOAA, EPA, & DOI Nutrients PIT Conservation & Restoration PIT Resilience PIT Education PIT Ecosystem Integration & Assessment PIT Water Quality PIT Ad Hoc Committees (e.g., Data Management Advisory Committee, Public Relations Committee)

Governors’ Action Plan for Healthy and Resilient Coasts Alliance Leadership Structure 5 State Leads (appointed by Governors) 2 Federal Workgroup Co-Chairs Alliance Management Team (AMT) Federal Workgroup (FWG) CEQ and 12 federal agencies EPA and NOAA co-chairs

Gulf of Mexico Alliance Alliance of Governors of five U.S. Gulf states Develops and carries out targeted Governors’ Action Plan Focused on highest priorities of all states

Six Priority Issue Teams (PITs) Water Quality - Florida Nutrient Reduction - Mississippi Ecosystem Integration &Assessment - Texas Habitat Conservation & Restoration - Louisiana Environmental Education - Alabama Coastal Community Resilience - Mississippi

Priority Issue Team structure Team Lead (each state leads a Team) Coordinator(s): full time State Leads: one from each state Federal Facilitators: one NOAA, one EPA Team Members: those with expertise and willing to be actively involved in implementing Action Plan

First Action Plan Spring of 2005 Three-year plan Second Action Plan June 2009 Each Team developed: Chapter of the Governors’ Plan Team Action Plan (Tier 2 - detailed) Team Activities Matrix (tasks and Leads) Workplan (updated annually)

Water Quality Team Led by Florida Composed of 4 Workgroups, each with state and federal co-chairs Pathogens Harmful Algal Blooms Mercury in Seafood Monitoring

Water Quality Team - Staff Team Lead : Becky Prado, FDEP Team Coordinators: Senior Coordinator: Steve Wolfe Assistant Coordinator: Linda Sedlacek Issues Coordinator: Heather Ritchie Administrative Assistant : Matt Mask Federal Co-Facilitators EPA: Jeanne Allen, GMPO NOAA: Chris Sinigalliano, AOML

GOMA and Deepwater Horizon Oil Blowout GOMA was not involved as an entity in oil spill response. Emergency response is a scripted, federally-directed effort. Most GOMA team members were involved, but through the state or federal agencies where they work. GOMA is involved in spill recovery: A) Teams modified Action Plans where appropriate B) GOMA is administering the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative funding being provided by BP, $500M over 10 years.
