18 <br /> concerns raised during the review. Written comments concerning the CCMP will be accepted until <br /> February 8, 1993. Please submit these comments to one of the APES' offices listed below. The <br /> APES committees will then endorse a final document which will be presented to the Governor of <br /> North Carolina and the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency for final approval. <br /> Following approval, the management actions in the CCMP can only be accomplished through the <br /> support and coordination of federal and state agencies, legislators, local governments, and <br /> members of the public. <br /> It is important to note that while this draft is out for review, APES researchers are finishing <br /> important research projects. We expect that the completion of these projects will provide <br /> important information which will be incorporated into the CCMP. For example, we will receive <br /> information on the how nutrient concentrations in the water may affect the activity of the newly <br /> discovered toxic dinoflagellate which causes fish kills. A fisheries research project will provide <br /> information on the effectiveness of bycatch reducing gear for the long haul and pound net fisheries. <br /> A water quality project will show how effectively a stormwater detention pond,built with APES <br /> funding, removes pollutants from urban runoff. We will also receive analyses conducted on each <br /> river basin which will describe basin specific concerns and support the targeting of specific <br /> management actions. The timing of the completion of these projects, unfortunately, makes us <br /> unable to include this new information in this draft for public review. How the addition of this • <br /> information may affect the CCMP will be presented by the APES staff at the public meetings in <br /> January. <br /> Your review of this document is very important to the APES Management Conference. Without <br /> your suggestions for improvements, this plan cannot fully benefit from the diversity of interests <br /> located within and outside the Albemarle-Pamlico basin. <br /> Please submit any written comments concerning the CCMP to either one of the APES' offices listed <br /> below.
