Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 68 / Monday, April 10, 2006 / Notices Ocean Research Priorities Plan was developed by the JSOST and approved by the ICOSRMI in April 2005. This framework consists of: Vision; Challenges; Principles and Critical Elements; Themes; Goals; Resources; and Evaluating Performance. Central to the Ocean Research Priorities Plan was the identification of specific themes that would incorporate the scope of the use, impact, and interaction of the ocean, coasts, and Great Lakes with society. These themes were: 1. Enhancing human health. 2. Improving ecosystem health. 3. Sustaining natural resources. 4. Promoting marine operations. 5. The ocean’s role in climate change and variability. 6. Mitigating effects of natural hazards. 7. Improving quality of life. In addition, several elements cut across all of these themes and were identified as cross-cutting themes. They include: 1. Basic understanding of the ocean. 2. Research support through ocean observations and infrastructure. 3. Expanded ocean education. With the framework and the initial description of the themes as planning materials, the NSTC JSOST now seeks input and comment from all relevant communities. This planning document is intended to serve as a foundation for discussion and community input during the public comment period, and associated public workshop in Denver, Colorado on April 17–20, 2006. The expectation is that public comments will help prioritize among the shortterm and long-term opportunities available within the ocean sciences research field, which will in turn inform the development of the Ocean Research Priorities Plan. Additional information on the development of the Ocean Research Priorities Plan, the public comment period, and the public workshop is available at: https://ocean. ceq.gov/about/sup_jsost_prioritiesplan. html.
