HALLENGES
Planning fatigueGap analysisSustaining broad stakeholder involvementUse permits are case by case and burden is on the applicantShowing decision‐makers and users that MSP enables fully informed decision‐makingTerrestrial plans do not include ocean planningORMP is not enforceable
OPPORTUNITIES
Robust regulatory system Tradition of planning Native Hawaiian cultural
issues built into constitution, statutes, and regulations
Federal Funding Support for Sub‐Region in NOP
Enthusiastic supporters
Federal CMSP Efforts under the National Ocean Policy

Executive Branch Interagency InitiativeRecognizes the importance of U.S. oceans and the Great LakesSets forth nine priority objectives (e.g., CMSP)Recognizes nine regions (e.g., Pacific Islands Region)Creates Regional Planning Bodies (RPB) to implement NOP

Fishery Management Council is expected to nominate their representative in JuneLetters to Pacific Islands Region governors are expected to be mailed in JuneFederal RPB members have metWill be assessing capacity of all agencies to contribute towards CMSPDraft charter, draft work plan, and begin drafting CMSP plan
HALLENGES
Jurisdictional issuesFunding Largest cost is travelExpansive regionIncorporating indigenous peoples’ perspectiveOrganizing various and disparate CMSP efforts across the region
OPPORTUNITIES
Form a good working relationship across territorial, state, and federal agencies
Create a strategic coastal and ocean management plan that not only incorporates economic and defense driven actions, but also culturally important and recreationally important activities
Regional Efforts

HALLENGES
Identifying priorities in an expansive regionFunding Largest cost is travelExpansive regionIncorporating stakeholder inputChanges in administration
OPPORTUNITIES
There are existing partnerships in the larger pacific region
PROP governments have established relationships
Gives the Pacific Islands Region a stronger voice in the RPB process
Leveraging science and knowledge
