Notice of March 9, 2016, Meeting of the Boston Harbor Islands 
National Recreation Area Advisory Council

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of annual meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces the annual meeting of the Boston Harbor 
Islands National Recreation Area Advisory Council (Council). The agenda 
includes a talk about the history and contemporary nature of the Boston 
Harbor Islands as ``islands on the edge.'' Since their ancient 
formation by rising sea level, the Boston Harbor Islands have literally 
been on the edge of the continent, places where land meets sea, and now 
at the edge of a major metropolitan area. The islands have often been 
on the ``edge of society,'' used to isolate people, institutions, and 
activities. After the talk, a business meeting will follow. The Council 
will introduce candidates interested in membership, hold elections for 
officers, and nominate Council representatives to the Partnership. 
Superintendent Giles Parker will also give updates about park 
operations and planning efforts.

DATES: March 9, 2016, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. (Eastern).

ADDRESSES: Museum of African American History, 14 Beacon Street, Suite 
401, Boston, MA 02108.

Designated Federal Official (DFO), Boston Harbor Islands National 
Recreation Area, 15 State Street, Suite 1100, Boston, MA 02109,
