In this episode of World Ocean Radio, host Peter Neill will discuss the New York Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance and their exemplary five-point structure of values and strategies which could be used as a model worldwide for areas facing similar challenges. Post-Sandy, the Alliance has posed a more specific ten-point platform for action which will also be outlined here. __________________________________________________________________________
