Description:
On April 26, 2019, the RESTORE Council staff began a 45-day public review and comment period on the Planning Framework draft. The Planning Framework draft identifies priorities that strategically link past and future restoration funding decisions. In this way, the document serves as a "bridge" between the Council's overarching goals and objectives and the specific restoration projects and programs approved in future Funded Priorities Lists (FPLs). To that end, the Council will consider how future investments may build upon those in the Initial FPL, as well as other restoration activities funded by other restoration efforts in the Gulf of Mexico region. Although this Planning Framework draft was developed to support their decision-making for FPL 3, the Council views it as a "living" document that is broad enough to serve as a foundation for all future FPLs. The Council anticipates that it will review and revise this Planning Framework, as needed prior to developing future FPLs.
