The National Marine Science Plan

The National Marine Science Plan is a strategic outline that guides research and efforts to better understand our oceans and coastal areas. It aims to improve scientific knowledge about marine ecosystems, address environmental challenges like climate change and pollution, and support sustainable use of marine resources. By coordinating research initiatives, technology development, and policy making, it helps ensure ocean health and resilience. The plan ultimately seeks to inform decision-making, foster innovation, and protect marine environments for the benefit of society and future generations.
