MARCO and the Mid-Atlantic Committee on the Ocean (MACO) thank the hundreds of stakeholders who provided input on our work and potential areas for future collaboration through a pair of virtual forums. The <a href="_wp_link_placeholder" data-wplink-edit="true">2020 Mid-Atlantic Forum</a>, held May 19, and a June 23 Supplemental Forum provided interactive opportunities for participants to engage representatives of the Mid-Atlantic states, tribes, regional and federal agencies that comprise MACO. 
The May Forum opened with welcoming remarks from Kisha Santiago-Martinez, Chair of the MARCO Management Board, followed by keynote remarks from Alicia Barton, President and CEO of the New York State Energy Research &amp; Development Authority (NYSERDA).
A plenary panel featured:

To ensure broader participation, a Supplemental Forum was later held to provide an additional opportunity for stakeholders who were unable to attend the May event to join the virtual discussions with MACO members.
This Forum was supported by funding from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.
