Blank Rome Maritime, the largest maritime and admiralty law practice in the United States, has agreed to become a sponsor of the National Business Forum<\/strong> on Marine Spatial Planning (MSP). Blank Rome is a member of the World Ocean Council, which is organizing the Forum in Washington D.C. on 13-14 July.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is still time to register for the National Business Forum<\/strong>, where the ocean business community will have a unique opportunity to engage in dialogue directly with key Federal government officials involved in the U.S. National Ocean Council:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0 \u00a0Kristen Sarri, Deputy Director, Department of Commerce<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0 \u00a0Sally Yozell, Policy Director, NOAA, Department of Commerce<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0 \u00a0Alan Thornhill, Science Advisor to the Director, BOEMRE, Department of Interior<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Forum on MSP is an unprecedented opportunity for businesses that care about their future use of marine space and resources to understand the government plans for managing marine space. The Forum will conclude with a 2-hour\u00a0session – for business representatives only – to develop the industry strategy and action plan for engaging in CMSP as it moves forward.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Engaging with the government on MSP is critical to the planning for future maritime business activity. The operational context for commercial activities in the marine environment is becoming more complex, creating risk and liabilities for even the most responsible company.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blank Rome Maritime serves the shipping industry around the world and regularly handles complex, multi-jurisdictional, and international maritime and admiralty matters. The firm’s maritime practice is consistently ranked at the top by Chambers Global<\/em>, Chambers Asia, Asia Legal Pacific, <\/em>and Chambers USA<\/em>.\u00a0 Blank Rome LLP is among the fastest growing law firms in the country and is the only U.S.-affiliated maritime practice with a local license to practice Hong Kong law.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Forum program includes: a unique government update on CMSP directly to business from senior administration officials, briefings on MSP from the country’s leading experts in business, government and environment NGO’s, case studies on the business experience in MSP in the US and abroad.<\/p>\n
