Recreational ocean stakeholders and users are invited to participate in the Mid-Atlantic Non-Consumptive Recreation Workshop Oct. 5, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the South Coastal Public Library at Bethany Beach, 43 Kent Avenue, Bethany Beach, Delaware.

The joint Delaware-Maryland workshop is part of a series of public meetings being held throughout the region to discuss the value of recreational activities and encourage input in support of the implementation of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Ocean Action Plan.

Non-consumptive recreation includes activities in which nothing is taken from the ecosystem, like beach-going, biking, boating, hiking, paddling, swimming or whale watching.

The workshop is hosted by the Mid-Atlantic Regional Council on the Ocean, Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control and the Surfrider Foundation.

Maryland residents can contact Lisa Gutierrez at 410-260-8778 for more information.
