What are the research and knowledge gaps that we need to address for the Federal Government to create and advance an effective Ocean Justice Strategy and take equitable and ambitious action? • Tools and Practices. How can the Federal Government harness existing environmental justice tools and practices, such as the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST),14 EJ Screen,15 and EnviroAtlas,16 to answer questions about justice in ocean policy? What new tools and practices are necessary to advance ocean justice? • Partnerships and Collaboration. What ocean justice solutions can or should be led by non-Federal entities? Where and how can the Federal Government partner with Tribal, Territorial, State, and local governments, as well as external stakeholders across regions and sectors, to effectively remedy past harms and advance ocean justice? • Additional Considerations. What else would you like considered in the development of the Ocean Justice Strategy?
