September 19, 2024
The strategy establishes a system of governance that describes the working relationships between the two federal agencies (USFWS and NOAA-Fisheries), Maine Department of Marine Resources (MDMR), Penobscot Nation and stakeholders.
This document is intended to provide direction and transparency in decision-making. The agencies and the Penobscot Indian Nation (PIN) recognize that this revised Governance Framework will require periodic evaluation, updating and modifications to ensure that it is functioning as it is intended.
