American Public Not Aware of Ocean's Importance

"A recent national survey indicates that the American public has only a superficial awareness of the importance of the ocean to their daily lives, let alone its importance to all life on the planet."

-- excerpt from the 'Preliminary Report' of the US Commission on Ocean Policy. The excerpt refers to the survey report by Belden, Russonello, & Stewart and American Viewpoint, entitled, "Communicating About Oceans: Results of a National Survey," Washington, DC: The Ocean Project, 1999.
