Outreach and education
  Issues: The North Coastal Watershed is blessed with an active citizenry often organized at the local level and generally dealing with specific or regional environmental issues. We learned that there is no single environmental issue affecting all of the citizenry, rather the issues and concerns are localized. Virtually all of the environmental agencies under EOEA have a significant presence in the watershed due to a high degree of regulatory oversight. Communications between the various levels of government, sister agencies and local community partners is inconsistent. The Department of Environmental Protection through its regulatory authorities plays a central role in protecting and improving environmental conditions for a host of issues, such as water pollution control, wetlands protection, water supply, solid waste management, and hazardous waste management. Particularly successful at interacting at the grassroots level were, DFWELE through their Stream Team Program and CZM/NS which provides proactive leadership and assistance in growth management, outreach programs and grants management.

Strategies: Identify the communities working in the North Coastal Watershed. Channel outreach and education efforts through the local governance organizations and environmental groups, strive to develop a pattern of reciprocal communications. Model outreach efforts employed by DFWELE, Massachusetts Audubon Society and CZM/NS to fit NCW needs. Maximize the exchange of information between team members and collaborative through electronic mail systems. As contacts are established with local officials invite them to join the team. Prioritize problems within the subregions, map out strategies to effect positive change, solve problems at the subwatershed level.
