National Impacts

At the national level, NEMO has made its way into several high-profile policy documents and reports, including the recently released report of the 2004 U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy, and a General Accounting Office report on incentives to promote better land use. NEMO principals also have been a leading force for arguing the importance of educating local land use officials in publications covering many disciplines and ranging from the Journal of Extension to the Planning Commissioners Journal to the Journal of Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing.

However, it is through the National NEMO Network that the program is having its greatest national impact. The Network, which now numbers 32 programs in 31 states, is a confederation of programs adapted from the original Connecticut model. Coordination and leadership of the Network is provided by the UConn “Hub,” a staff of two people working closely with the Connecticut Program. A detailed list of impacts from Network member NEMO programs throughout the U.S. can be found on the National NEMO Network website's Network Impacts section.
