“The nation lacks effective mechanisms for
incorporating scientific information into
decision-making processes in a timely manner.”

1. Improving national and homeland security
2. Improving predictions (climate, ocean,
weather …)
3. Improving safety and efficiency
4. Mitigating the effects of natural hazards
5. Enabling the sustained use of marine
resources
6. Protecting/restoring coastal ecosystems
7. Reducing public health risks
