Ocean Policy Task Force

The Ocean Policy Task Force was a U.S. government initiative established in 2009 to coordinate and improve the management of ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes resources. Its goal was to develop a comprehensive national policy that promotes sustainable use, conservation, and responsible stewardship of marine environments. By integrating scientific research, regional efforts, and stakeholder input, the task force aimed to address challenges like pollution, overfishing, and habitat loss, ensuring healthy oceans and Coastlines for the future.
