Principles for Marine Spatial Planning: Outcomes of the Ocean Industries MSP Policy Labs
Duke University's Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions and Meridian Institute have been following the work of the Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force with great interest. We look forward to the Task Force's recommendations to President Obama regarding a national ocean policy to improve the management of our oceans, coasts and Great Lakes. One important element of that policy will be the Task Force response to President Obama's call for a framework for coastal and marine spatial planning.
