- Title
FEDERAL POLICY PLANNING FOR THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT.
- Authors
Wenk Jr., Edward
- Abstract
The marine environment was defined to embrace the great oceans, their living contents, and the seabed. Also included were the vital margins of continental shelf, bays, and estuaries, and the Great Lakes. The primary goal of this new mandate was more effective use of that marine environment. Ways and means of achieving such a goal anticipated a new synthesis of oceanography with the mainstream of public policy a blending of classical science of a frontier spirit of exploration, engineering, and innovative technology to transfer scientific discoveries to practical purposes; and of concerted efforts to improve management of the coastal zone where multiple uses may be in conflict. Marine science and engineering were thus to be brought together with considerations of law, economics, and public administration. Existing institutions and new combinations in both public and private sectors would be expected to share in the responsibility for renewing this nation's historic involvement with the sea.
