Investing in Our Oceans Policy -- A Very Reasonable Investment

"Based on the contents of this preliminary report, the total additional cost to the federal government of implementing the Commissions recommendations will be approximately $1.3 billion in the first year of implementation, $2.4 billion in the second year, and $3.2 billion per year in ongoing costs thereafter -- a very reasonable investment in view of the value generated by ocean and coastal industries." - excerpt from the 'Preliminary Report' by the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy. See Part IX of the 'Preliminary Report' at http://www.oceancommission.gov/documents/prelimreport/welcome.html
