11. Final Report Issued June 2003 • The oceans are in trouble and face major threats from pollution, overfishing and development. • Five recommended action areas: • Ocean Governance • Restoring Fisheries • Preserving the Coasts • Cleaning Coastal Waters • Guiding Sustainable Aquaculture • Other recommendations: • New “ocean ethic”of stewardship needed • Increase investment in ocean science and research

12. Final Report Due Late 2003 Will Include Reviews of: • Existing & planned federal activities and facilities • Cumulative effect of federal laws • Supply & demand for ocean resources • Relationships between the public and private sectors • New investment opportunities • State & federal integration efforts • Modification to federal laws & agencies • Effectiveness of existing federal policy coordination

14. Integration

15. “All R&D sponsored by….will be in direct support of the …. Mission” “R&D strategy defines mission-critical research”
