A Management Plan Committee was established by the Planning Commission to work directly with the consultant on the Plan. Included in the Management Plan Committee were representatives of the Planning Commission, local stakeholders, the New York State Department of State's Coastal Resources Division - which provided substantial funding for the Management Plan - and the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, which oversees the Heritage Areas program.

Members of the Management Plan Committee represented a broad cross-section of interests in the LINSHA. They are listed below. For more information about the Management Plan and to get involved click on the Feedback link in the upper right of this page.
