Charting the Course for Ocean Science in the United
States: Research Priorities for the Next Decade
The National Science
and Technology Council Joint Subcommittee on Ocean Science and
Technology is developing Charting the Course for Ocean Science
in the United States: Research Priorities for the Next
Decade, a draft document that outlines the national
ocean research priorities for the United States for the next ten
years.
Called for in the
U.S. Ocean Action Plan, this draft document, along with a follow-on
Implementation Strategy, will describe a vision for U.S. ocean science
and technology, highlight key areas of interaction of our society and
the ocean, and identify critical ocean research priorities for these
areas. The draft document is scheduled to be released for public
comment late summer 2006.
Public briefings on
the national ocean research priorities will be held during the next
few months in the following cities: Seattle, WA; Anchorage, AK;
Miami, FL; Honolulu, HI; Baton Rouge, LA; West Long
Branch, NJ; Chicago, IL; and La Jolla, CA. Town hall meetings and
panels will also be held at several conferences across the country
including Oceans 2006, California and the World Ocean '06, and the
American Fisheries Society Annual Meeting. A developing list of
public briefings and meetings with venue details is located
at:

Members from the
research community, Industry groups, ocean educators, government
representatives (federal, state, tribal, and local), international
representatives, non-governmental organizations, and any interested
individuals are invited to attend.
