Department of the Ocean
- "...if you took the Coast Guard, our nation's multi-mission maritime operator on the Ocean and Great Lakes and pried it from the Department of Homeland Security and took NOAA, the lead civilian agency for marine science and management, out of the Department of Commerce where Richard Nixon sank it back in 1970, you'd have the makings of a pretty decent Department of the Ocean that could oversee and help restore the blue in our red, white and blue." - excerpt from Blue Notes #64 by David Helvarg of the Blue Frontier Campaign.
