Citizen's Participation Group Description

The Task Force also established a Citizen's Participation Group (CPG) to provide general input from the diverse interests across the coastal zone:

local officials,
landowners,
farmers,
sportsmen,
commercial fishermen,
oil and gas developers,
navigation interests, and
environmental organizations.

The CPG was formed to promote citizen participation and involvement in formulating priority project lists and the restoration plan. The group meets at its own discretion, but may at times meet in conjunction with other CWPPRA elements, such as the Technical Committee (TC). The purpose of the CPG is to maintain consistent public review and input into the plans and projects being considered by the TC and to assist and participate in the public involvement program. The Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana holds CPG Chairman seat. The CPG Chairman leads this group in their charge.
