National Ocean Policy Draft Implementation Plan

As part of President Obama's National Policy for the Stewardship of the
Ocean, Our Coasts, and the Great Lakes, the National Ocean Council has
released a draft National Ocean Policy Implementation Plan to address
some of the most pressing challenges facing the ocean, our coasts, and
the Great Lakes. The draft Implementation Plan describes more than 50
actions the Federal Government will take to improve the health of the
ocean, coasts, and Great Lakes, which support tens of millions of jobs,
contribute trillions of dollars a year to the national economy, and are
essential to public health and national security.

The draft Implementation Plan will ensure the Federal Government targets
limited resources more effectively to deliver demonstrable results for
the American people, including predictability for users, more efficient
and coordinated decision-making, and improved sharing of data and
technology. For each action, the Plan outlines key milestones,
identifies responsible agencies, and indicates the expected timeframe
for completion.
