Developing a National Ocean Policy
- "My Administration continues to build upon this progress, and we are taking a more integrated and comprehensive approach to developing a national ocean policy that will guide us well into the future. This policy will incorporate ecosystem-based science and management and emphasize our public stewardship responsibilities. My Administration also is working to develop a systematic marine spatial planning framework for the conservation and sustainable use of ocean resources. I am committed to protecting these resources and ensuring accountability for actions that affect them." - quote from President Barack Obama from this Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies. Subject: National Policy for the Oceans, Our Coasts, and the Great Lakes.
