Title: Ocean Commissions: Ocean Policy Review and Outlook
Authors: Harold F. Upton and Eugene H. Buck, Resources, Science, and Industry Division 
Abstract: The 110th Congress has continued to consider ocean policy and management recommendations of the two commission reports and the President's response. Approaches range from the comprehensive changes in ocean governance and administrative structure proposed in the Oceans Conservation, Education, and National Strategy for the 21st Century Act (H.R. 21 and S. 3314), to specific topics such as reauthorization of the Coral Reef Conservation Act of 2000 (H.R. 1205 and S. 1580).
