Notice of March 9, 2016, Meeting of the Boston Harbor Islands
National Recreation Area Advisory Council
AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of annual meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces the annual meeting of the Boston Harbor
Islands National Recreation Area Advisory Council (Council). The agenda
includes a talk about the history and contemporary nature of the Boston
Harbor Islands as ``islands on the edge.'' Since their ancient
formation by rising sea level, the Boston Harbor Islands have literally
been on the edge of the continent, places where land meets sea, and now
at the edge of a major metropolitan area. The islands have often been
on the ``edge of society,'' used to isolate people, institutions, and
activities. After the talk, a business meeting will follow. The Council
will introduce candidates interested in membership, hold elections for
officers, and nominate Council representatives to the Partnership.
Superintendent Giles Parker will also give updates about park
operations and planning efforts.
DATES: March 9, 2016, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. (Eastern).
ADDRESSES: Museum of African American History, 14 Beacon Street, Suite
401, Boston, MA 02108.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Giles Parker, Superintendent and
Designated Federal Official (DFO), Boston Harbor Islands National
Recreation Area, 15 State Street, Suite 1100, Boston, MA 02109,
telephone (617) 223-8669, or email [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This meeting is open to the public. Those
