This book was released on 2014-11-02 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The environmental integrity and sustainable productivity of the ocean, our coasts and coastal watersheds, and the Great Lakes play a central role in the well-being of all Americans. Every day, the marine environment supplies a multitude of products and services that enhance and support the lives and livelihoods of citizens. In 2011, Americans, on average, ate 15 pounds of fish and shellfish per person - 4.7 billion pounds all together - making the United States second in the world in total seafood consumption. Offshore oil production in Federal waters accounts for fully 24 percent of total U.S. crude oil production. More than half of the United States population lives in coastal watershed counties, and these counties generate 58 percent ($8.3 trillion) of the Nation's gross domestic product (GDP)-even though they comprise only 25 percent of the Nation's land area. If American coastal watershed counties were considered an individual country, that country would have a GDP higher than that of China. Recognizing the central role these environments and their resources play, and the many sometimes competing demands placed on them, President Obama issued Executive Order 13547, Stewardship of the Ocean, Our Coasts, and the Great Lakes, on July 19, 2010. The Executive Order established a comprehensive National Ocean Policy to improve the Nation's stewardship of the ocean, our coasts, and the Great Lakes. The Policy, which adopts the Final Recommendations of the Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force, calls for use of the best available science to inform decisions affecting these essential ecosystems as well as to enhance humanity's capacity to understand and respond to a changing global environment. Full implementation of the National Ocean Policy will require significant progress in ocean science and more effective application of research results to aid decision-making. These two important concepts drove the selection of issues that frame this document, Science for an Ocean Nation. Science for an Ocean Nation sets priorities for scientific research that support the National Ocean Policy goal of balancing the productive use of the marine environment with its stewardship and protection. It represents the consensus view of 25 Federal agencies regarding key ocean science research areas and incorporates extensive input from outside the Federal Government. This report is constructed around six societal themes that frame ocean research in terms of the needs of Americans. Within these societal themes, Science for an Ocean Nation presents research priorities with the greatest potential to provide benefits to the Nation. This report builds on its predecessor, Charting the Course for Ocean Science in the United States for the Next Decade ("Charting the Course"), by updating research priorities, addressing emerging areas of research, and highlighting accomplishments resulting from Charting the Course. It also highlights cross-cutting capabilities and approaches that can help provide the technological advancements, broad perspective, and community structure needed to address the research priorities. The themes that frame Science for an Ocean Nation represent key areas of interaction between human society and the ocean. The research priorities within each societal theme draw upon both natural and social sciences and aim to improve the tools required not only to carry out research but also to translate, disseminate, and apply the results of that research to address pressing issues facing the Nation and the world.

Download or read book Science and Technology for America s Oceans a Decadal Vision written by Executive Office of the President of the United States and published by . This book was released on 2018-11 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's unrestricted access to the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, Gulf of Mexico, rivers, Great Lakes, and Arctic region powers domestic and global commerce. The ease of moving cargo and people beyond our coasts fuels the Nation's competitive advantage, advances trade, generates capital, and drives the domestic economy forward, in turn projecting strength abroad and safeguarding our national interests. Similarly, the biological diversity and productivity of the ocean sustains the health of coastal communities and promotes a vibrant national economy. The ocean also plays a fundamental role in the Earth system. Ensuring responsible ocean stewardship with science and technology (S&T) breakthroughs depends on a strategic Federal portfolio supported by foundational basic research. Science and Technology for America's Oceans: A Decadal Vision identifies pressing research needs and areas of opportunity within the ocean S&T enterprise for the decade 2018-2028.
Download or read book Sea Change written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-05-19 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ocean science connects a global community of scientists in many disciplines - physics, chemistry, biology, geology and geophysics. New observational and computational technologies are transforming the ability of scientists to study the global ocean with a more integrated and dynamic approach. This enhanced understanding of the ocean is becoming ever more important in an economically and geopolitically connected world, and contributes vital information to policy and decision makers charged with addressing societal interests in the ocean. Science provides the knowledge necessary to realize the benefits and manage the risks of the ocean. Comprehensive understanding of the global ocean is fundamental to forecasting and managing risks from severe storms, adapting to the impacts of climate change, and managing ocean resources. In the United States, the National Science Foundation (NSF) is the primary funder of the basic research which underlies advances in our understanding of the ocean. Sea Change addresses the strategic investments necessary at NSF to ensure a robust ocean scientific enterprise over the next decade. This survey provides guidance from the ocean sciences community on research and facilities priorities for the coming decade and makes recommendations for funding priorities.
Download or read book Into the Deep written by Christy Peterson and published by Millbrook Press. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Containing 97 percent of Earth's water supply, the ocean plays a huge role in regulating global temperatures, supporting plant and animal life, and contributing to the livelihoods of millions of people. But in spite of all this, the ocean remains drastically unexplored, and the details of its impact on human lives aren't fully understood. Scientists from around the world are realizing that to address issues plaguing the ocean, such as dead zones, coral bleaching, and climate change, we need to better understand this incredible, unique feature of our planet. With a range of impressive, cutting-edge technologies at their disposal, oceanographers have set out to measure, sample, and analyze at every turn. Every day, mysteries about the ocean are being solved, and every day, new questions come to light. The more scientists learn, the better they are able to answer these new questions. What lies in the deep? And who is at the forefront of these exciting discoveries? The scientists and research included in this book shed light on the most pressing issues currently facing oceanographers and point us in the right direction to solving these challenges.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Global Ocean Science Report (GOSR) assesses for the first time the status and trends in ocean science capacity around the world. The report offers a global record of how, where, and by whom ocean science is conducted: generating knowledge, helping to protect ocean health, and empowering society to support sustainable ocean management in the framework of the United Nations 2030 Agenda. The GOSR identifies and quantifies the key elements of ocean science at the national, regional and global scales, including workforce, infrastructure and publications. It is the first collective attempt to systematically highlight opportunities as well as capacity gaps to advance international collaboration in ocean science and technology. This report is a resource for policy-makers, academics and other stakeholders seeking to harness the potential of ocean science to address global challenges. A comprehensive view of ocean science capacities at the national and global levels takes us closer to developing the global ocean science knowledge needed to ensure a healthy, sustainable ocean.
