Several Thoughts for the Ocean Commission to Consider

چکیده
Background. There is a strong regional component to most environmental issues. It is difficult to fully appreciate, let alone address, regional environmental problems from the seat of the central government. This situation has been recognized by various agencies; such as, EPA and NPS. Within NOAA, it has been recognized by only NWS and NMFS. While there is some regional distribution to the OAR laboratories, there is no clear regional mandate for even those laboratories with a regional sounding title. Their work generally consists of an eclectic and opportunistic (and often meritorious) mix of global and local topics, not a long-term investment (and leadership) in regional environmental expertise.
