As Marine Trades Businesses we need to pay attention to the Port’s Agendas & meetings as they are making decisions that impact all of us. Further, our commissioners rely on public feedback and that is best given before a decision has to be made so write to them politely and often. If we cannot attend live meetings, there is value in listening to the meeting audio even if it is while we are cooking, checking emails, or doing other simple tasks.

Our Port may, at times, be under the impression that the Marine Trades stakeholders are not attending meetings or paying attention. More of us are listening than they realize and the PTMTA is committed to being more present and vocal than we have been during the worst of the Covid/Zoom Era. Engagement is very important whenever possible. Different ears hear different nuances and those voiced collectively make us a stronger influence on the future of the marine trades and the Port of PT.
