Panel seeks fresh course for ocean research

Article Abstract:

The US Commission on ocean policy had called for the establishment of a National Ocean Council at the White House, to coordinate the $7 billion that the government spends each year on ocean management, research and education. But the commission rejected calls for an independent ocean research agency to replace the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which is part of the Department of Commerce.
