The U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy, created
as part of the Oceans Act of 2000, is undertaking
an 18-month study after which it will make
recommendations to the President and Congress
for a national ocean policy.  The
Commission's recommendations are mandated
to address issues ranging from the stewardship
of marine resources, and pollution prevention,
to enhancing and supporting marine science,
commerce, and transportation.
