Governor's natural-resources executive orders aim to knit agencies together on resilience and energy
Summary
Senior policy staff briefed the Marine Board on two executive orders—one to coordinate natural-resource agencies around resiliency (including a 10% lands-and-waters protection goal) and a second to accelerate clean-energy permitting and electrification. Staff said work plans and interagency teams will be shared with boards.
Jeff Huntington, senior policy advisor to the governor on natural resources, and Chandra Ferreri of the governor’s natural-resources policy team presented the administration’s approach to two executive orders during the board’s Jan. 29 meeting. Huntington said the governor intends to provide a “North Star” for agency budgeting and policy that will be implemented via interagency teams and shared work plans.
Chandra Ferreri walked members through the natural-resource executive order (EO 2526), describing four main “buckets” of work: defining attributes of resilient lands and waters; advancing actions that raise resiliency on working lands and natural lands; improving mitigation effectiveness; and leading by example through agency land management. Ferreri said one measurable goal is to “protect, conserve, restore, or connect 10% of our lands and waters within 10 years.” The presenters asked boards to expect agency work plans that will be shared for review and dialogue.
