This statement was first adopted by AGU in 2005. The charge to the panel revising the statement is to reflect current scientific knowledge as well as policy and budget developments in ocean research issues, with the understanding that ocean policy is international in scope. The panel also will revisit the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy’s 2004 report, “An Ocean Blueprint for the 21st Century,” which was the basis for AGU’s 2005 position statement. AGU members are invited to provide comments to be considered in updating this position statement.
