We Need More Action NOW to Help Our Oceans, Coasts, and Great Lakes
- "More Action is needed now - to implement a national strategy to protect, maintain and restore the nation's priceless economic and ecological assets -- our oceans, coasts and Great Lakes. We need a more coherent strategy if we hope to predict, avoid or minimize the challenges facing our oceans and coasts. We must accelerate the implementation of and increase the funding for policies and science that will help protect and enhance the value of the oceans for the long haul, before it is too late." - quote from 12/19/2005 by Admiral James D. Watkins (Ret.), chairman of the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy.
