America's Surrounded by and Reliant on the Oceans
- "America is a nation surrounded by and reliant on the oceans. From the fisherman in Maine, to the homemaker in Oregon, to the businessperson in Miami, and even the farmer in Iowa, every American influences and is influenced by the sea." - excerpt from the final report of the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy entitled, An Ocean Blueprint for the 21st Century, pg. 30. Report is available at http://www.oceancommission.gov/documents/full_color_rpt/
