11. 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. 12 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 Final Report Due Late 2003 Will Include Reviews of:
