U.S. Ocean-Related Academic Infrastructure

By Government Printing Office

Description
Government Reference Publication

Excerpt
Excerpt: The Oceans Act of 2000 was enacted on August 2000, establishing the Commission on Ocean Policy and calling for a report to Congress with recommendations for a comprehensive U.S. ocean policy. Among the required elements of the report is an “assessment of existing and planned facilities associated with ocean and coastal activities including human resources, vessels, computers, satellites, and other appropriate platforms and technologies.” Central to this infrastructure assessment is an evaluation of the U.S. investment in academic ocean sciences research and education. This report has been prepared to address this assessment requirement. The academic ocean sciences community in the United States is exceptionally broad, diverse and diffuse. The ocean sciences are interdisciplinary in nature and encompass the natural science fields of biology, chemistry, physics and geology; ocean and coastal engineering; and marine policy. Students of the ocean sciences can be found in technical and two-year colleges, military academies, and universities in either undergraduate or graduate programs. Identifying these students and the institutional resources used to educate them is critical to understanding the current state of the ocean sciences community in this country and to identifying areas where additional efforts may be required to ensure a robust ocean sciences endeavor in the future.
