A Welcome to NASCO

Andy Goode, ASF's Vice President of U.S. Programs, welcomed NASCO delegates coming from many countries around the North Atlantic Basin, and wished them well in the deliberations through the week. This was only the second time that NASCO, since its inception in 1983, has met in the U.S.

NGOs have their say

Chris Poupard, leader of the 20 Non-governmental organizations taking part in NASCO, makes the formal opening address with an overview of the hopes and concerns of these volunteer-driven organizations on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
