The goal of this sub-committee is to monitor local, state and federal government proposals, actions, activities, by-laws, laws, etc. that have the potential to affect the Herring Ponds Watershed and its members.  Further, this sub-committee will report such information to its members in a timely manner so as to enable the members to take such actions as deemed appropriate.

This sub-committee will also attempt to maintain a current listing of governmental contacts such as town meeting members, state representatives and senators, and federal representatives and senators for the use of the members of the Herring Ponds Watershed Association.
