Oceans Act 2000
The law establishes a Commission which, in consultation
with the states, a scientific advisory panel, and the public,
develops recommendations for a National Oceans Policy
(due June 2003). The President has 120 days to provide
Congress with proposals to implement or respond to
recommendations.
The Commission is to give equal consideration to
environmental, technical feasibility, economic, and
scientific factors. In addition, the recommendations may
not be specific to the lands or waters within a single state.
6
Purpose
To establish a Commission to make recommendations for a coordinated
and comprehensive national ocean policy that will promote:
•
Protection of live and property
•
Stewardship of ocean and coastal resources
•
Enhancement of maritime commerce
•
Expansion of human knowledge of the marine environment
•
Investment in technologies to promote energy and food
security
•
Close cooperation among government agencies
•
U.S. leadership in ocean and coastal activities
7
Oceans Act 2000 Scope
The Commission’s report is required to include a review of the
following:
•
Existing and planned facilities (people, vessels, computers, satellites)
•
Existing and planned federal activities
•
Cumulative effect of federal laws
•
Supply and demand for ocean and coastal resources
•
Relationships between federal, state, and local governments, and the
private sector
•
Opportunities for the investment in new products and technologies
•
State and federal integration efforts
•
Modification to federal laws and/or the structure of federal agencies
•
The effectiveness of existing federal interagency policy coordination
8
Ocean Commissions Challenges
and Opportunities
• Rationalize organization of Federal ocean and coastal
activities
• Integrate laws and policies
• Ensure greater involvement of Federal, State, Regional, and
Local stakeholders
• Build the required knowledge base of ocean environment
to support decision-makers
• Increase use of science and technology to meet
aforementioned challenges
• Implement rational and coherent investment policies and
plans

“…we have the opportunity, urged by
many presenters, to develop truly
integrated ocean and coastal
observing and prediction systems
that are more sophisticated than ever
before…but will we seize the
opportunity?”

National Oceanographic Partnership Program
What is NOPP?
NOPP Mission
14 Federal agencies* together
providing leadership and
coordination of national
oceanographic research &
education programs
to facilitate new interactions among federal agencies,
academia & industry
to increase visibility for ocean issues on the national agenda
to achieve a higher level of coordinated effort & synergy
across the broad oceanographic community
How will NOPP contribute to an Integrated
Ocean and Coastal Observing System?
www.NOPP.org
Ocean.US (www.ocean.us.net) was created by NOPP in late 2000 and empowered to
develop a tactical plan for implementation of a national ocean observing system by
2010 and to submit this plan to Congress by April 2002. Ocean.US will convene a
workshop in March 2002 to define the conventions of the national ocean observing system
and will submit this plan to Congress in April 2002.
The National Ocean Partnership Program (NOPP) has demonstrated that
coalitions involving academia, government and industry can be successfully built.
