Map of North Coast Projects that Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Map of North Coast Renewable Energy Potential & Projects
We are interested in identifying existing and proposed energy independence,
climate protection, and GHG reduction projects to
enable us to update our maps and describe these efforts in the North Coast
IRWM Plan. Please contact info at northcoastirwmp.org with information regarding
projects in your area.
