New Interests at CMA 2015
The NAMEPA booth at the CMA Conference, held in Stamford, CT on March 23-25, 2015, was bustling with old friends and new interests. Many stopped by the NAMEPA Exhibit asking questions about the work NAMEPA is doing with the industry, seafarers and port communities to promote sound environmental practices. Industry leaders, students and educators stopped to learn about our upcoming events, education material, meet our staff, and learn about NAMEPA's mission to Save Our Seas. NAMEPA is stretching its reach throughout North America and the Western Hemisphere with industry and public education and people are taking notice. NAMEPA has exhibited at the CMA Conference each year to discuss and review; to meet the people in the industry and invite maritime students to join and learn about the marine industry. It is a great place to be!
