What will the National Policy mean for the American public?
Americans want clean beaches, abundant seafood and wildlife, a robust economy and jobs and recreational opportunities from our ocean, coasts and the Great Lakes areas. The National Policy puts us on a path to achieving this and will significantly advance our response to the long-term challenges and impacts of climate and environmental changes and non-sustainable use. The actions will also further enhance the many vital benefits our Nation can derive from the ocean, our coasts, and the Great Lakes.
