SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
As part of the NOAA mission: ‘‘To
understand and predict changes in
Earth’s environment and conserve and
manage coastal and marine resources to
meet our Nation’s economic, social, and
environmental needs’’, the proposed
survey will be part of a stakeholder
engagement effort to more clearly define
what those needs are. The proposed
survey will be used to engage with and
assess the science and forecasting needs
of stakeholders in the water resources
sector. The water resources sector
includes agencies and companies
operating reservoirs, and private and
public interests in regulating rivers. The
survey is designed to (1) assess the
accessibility and utility of water and
climate information and data, (2) assess
participants’ perceptions and
knowledge about water and climate, and
(3) evaluate user needs and the gaps in
existing water and climate information.
Participation in the survey will be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Summary of Report
Warming oceans, rising seas and
ocean acidification are impacting the
marine life off of our coasts, disrupting
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
fisheries and local economies. These
impacts are expected to increase with
continued changes in the planet’s
climate and ocean systems. There is
much at risk. For example, oceanrelated fisheries generate $200 billion in
sales and support 1.7 million jobs
nationally each year.1
These current and possible future
climate-related changes also affect
NOAA’s ability to fulfill its stewardship
mandates for marine resources and the
communities that depend on them. The
goal of the draft Climate Science
Strategy is to increase the production,
delivery, and use of climate-related
information to apprise and fulfill NMFS
LMR stewardship mandates in a
changing climate, including the
Magnuson-Stevens Act, Endangered
Species Act, Marine Mammal Protection
Act, National Environmental Policy Act
and others.
The draft Climate Science Strategy
identifies seven key steps to improve
the production and use of climaterelated information to fulfill agency
mandates and increase the resilience of
marine resources and resourcedependent sectors and communities.
The Strategy is designed to provide a
nationally consistent framework to
guide development and implementation
of regional actions. The Strategy
proposes specific near and mediumterm recommendations, and identifies
priority recommendations that are
common across mandates, regions,
objectives and living marine resources.
Implementation of the Strategy over
the next five years is crucial for effective
fulfillment of NMFS mission and
mandates with changing climate and
ocean conditions. Implementation of the
Strategy will increase the production
and delivery of climate-related
information needed by NMFS and
partners to reduce impacts and increase
resilience of marine resources and the
communities that depend on them.
NMFS works with and depends on
many partners to fulfill its science and
information needs from other federal
agencies to academia, fisheries and
other organizations. As such, we are
providing this opportunity for broad
public review and comment on the draft
Strategy.
