Paul Meyer chats with Austin Rose from the Marine Resource Committee



Paul Meyer sits down with Austin Rose from the Marine Resource Committee to talk about the marine sanctuary proposals that have led to the MRC's creation, and what the MRC does here in the region.


The Marine Resource Committee, guided by sound science and the needs of the Northwest Strait marine ecosystem, and consideration for the citizens of Whatcom County, will address local marine issues and recommend remedial action to local authorities. The committee will build awareness of issues, and gather support for remedies.
