GLIN==> National Ocean Council seeks public input on the development of strategic action plans

Dear Great Lakes Community,



You may be interested in today’s announcement that the National Ocean
Council is seeking public input on the development of strategic action plans
for the nine priority objectives described in the Final Recommendations of
the Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force.  These nine objectives seek to
address some of the most pressing challenges facing the ocean, our coasts,
and the Great Lakes.



On July 19, 2010, President Obama signed Executive Order 13547 establishing
a National Policy for the Stewardship of the Ocean, our Coasts, and the
Great Lakes.  That Executive Order adopts the Final Recommendations and
directs Federal agencies to take the appropriate steps to implement them.
