Lena Maun-DeSantis, Marine Environmental Supervisor, Port of Los Angeles:
“Any opportunity for Ports representatives to get together and discuss common environmental issues and solutions, especially on an international front, is invaluable.
I greatly enjoyed the GreenPort/EcoPorts 2008 conference in Amsterdam. From an American Port’s perspective, I was most interested to learn about European governance. I would welcome more comprehensive discussions in the future among European, American, and other countries’ Ports regarding government structure and influence”.
