United States Commission on Ocean Policy

The United States Commission on Ocean Policy was established in 2000 to evaluate the nation's ocean-related policies and recommend improvements. Its main goal is to promote sustainable use and conservation of ocean resources, while addressing challenges like pollution, climate change, and habitat protection. The Commission's work aims to enhance the health of oceans, support economic activities like fishing and tourism, and improve the overall management of marine environments. Its findings and recommendations help guide government agencies, businesses, and communities in their decision-making regarding ocean management and preservation.
