New York Sea Grant Board of Governors Meeting 30 April 2013 New York Sea Grant Board of Governors Meeting 30 April 2013 April 22, 2013 To the New York Sea Grant Board of Governors: Enclosed is the Board Briefing Book for 2013, which reports on the activities of New York Sea Grant (NYSG) for the period February 1, 2012 through January 31, 2013. This period coincides with the same period that we use for reporting to the National Sea Grant Office at NOAA. This report summarizes the many activities in research, extension, and communications that the staff of NYSG is involved in, as well as the fiscal details of our operations. The past year has been busier than ever, especially in the wake of Hurricane Sandy as well as the multiple RFPs currently underway. I request that you carefully review the major sections of this document, particularly the Action/Discussion Items, and then refer to the appendices as needed. I refer you specifically to Action/Discussion Item 1, the NYSG Budget Report; Action/Discussion Item 2, Other Funding Sources; and Action/Discussion Item 3, PRP Report and other reporting issues; all of which we will discuss at the meeting. If you have questions or concerns please contact me. I look forward to meeting with you in Buffalo next week and thanks for your support. Sincerely, James W. Ammerman, Director, New York Sea Grant Enc.
