Rumours on the Bush Administration and Upcoming Ocean Policy
- "Marine conservation activists were dismayed to learn last week that the Bush administration is unlikely to institute recommended policy changes regarding the way it handles ocean pollution, coastal development, fisheries management and other marine environmental issues. The White House is mandated to officially "respond" by December 20 to recommendations set forth by the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy last year. According to Admiral James Watkins, the former Secretary of Energy who chaired the federally appointed commission, the White House response will probably consist of "a menu of all the wonderful things they are doing right now" in an effort to solve America's marine woes by applying existing policies with the current governmental oversight structure." - excerpt from the E Magazine article at http://www.emagazine.com/view/?2153
