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.
