The Fish Restoration Program Agreement (FRPA) is a 2010 agreement between the California Department of Water Resources and the California Department of Fish & Wildlife to restore 8,000 acres of intertidal and subtidal habitat in the Delta and Suisun Marsh to a wetlands condition. FRPA also includes a number of actions to benefit winter-run and spring-run salmon, steelhead, sturgeon, and other native fish species.
PACE Outreach principal, Morgan Lommele, manages the public outreach portion of this habitat restoration and water resource agreement, including identifying all key stakeholders, designing engagement strategies and creative opportunities for proactive and genuine involvement, advising on regulatory policy, and managing the CEQA/NEPA process. Morgan developed FRPA’s Communications and Engagement Plan, and a more targeted Prospect Island Communications and Engagement Plan, as well as interviewed a number of key stakeholders and developed the program’s Stakeholder Assessment, all available here.
Morgan also drafts the program’s email newsletters, fact sheets, brochures, FAQs, and other relevant content; and coordinates the regulatory CEQA scoping process.
