2. https://www.state.gov/www/global/oes — The Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs (OES) is the Department of State’s focal point for foreign policy formulation and implementation in global environment, science, and technology issues. OES is headed by Assistant Secretary of State David B. Sandalow. The Bureau works closely with the White House, U.S. Government agencies, Congress, U.S. universities, nongovernmental organizations, private citizens, and other bureaus in the Department of State to formulate U.S. foreign policy on these issues. OES implements those policies by representing the Department of State at multilateral, regional and bilateral organizations and meetings, including bilateral commissions and common agendas, and through cooperative agreements, such as science and technology framework agreements, with foreign government agencies.

4. https://www.susdev.noaa.gov/aqucult.html — The Office of Sustainable Development is involved in efforts to rethink patterns of production and consumption, and to create the necessary markets, technologies, and institutional mechanisms to allow for the development of a more sustainable economy that reflects the a fuller accounting of the social benefits that derive from a clean, just and resiliant relationship within human society and with the natural world. To this end, we are working actively within NOAA, the Department of Commerce, and in all of our outside partnerships to develop policies that support a long term vision of economic development which invests in people and places, values the concrete social benefits provided by natural systems, and seeks to restructure the system of incentives that shape market activities, as well as fostering the development of new technologies and production process that the reduce the pressures on natural systems posed by increasing human development. These efforts include developing new analytical tools for policy makers and planners, and support for the development of aquaculture through partnerships with the private sector, scientific researchers, and the development of a strong and practical regulatory framework to guide this growing sector of the fisheries industry. At the same time we have offered assistance to coastal communities to relieve the short term economic pressures that are so often a barrier to promoting sustainability.
5. https://www.sustainableseas.noaa.gov — In response to the expeditions, the sanctuary program reached out to its friends and partners to write topical essays on the diverse aspects of marine sanctuaries. Close to 100 essays were submitted by poets, naturalists, geologists, natural and cultural historians, archaeologists, biologists, geographers, curators, volunteers, teachers, professors, students, sanctuary managers, research and education coordinators, members of Congress, commercial fishermen, and native peoples. Our sincere thanks to them all!

To achieve these goals, the Director of ONDCP is charged with producing the National Drug Control Strategy, which directs the Nation’s anti-drug efforts and establishes a program, a budget, and guidelines for cooperation among Federal, State, and local entities. By law, the Director of ONDCP also evaluates, coordinates, and oversees both the international and domestic anti-drug efforts of executive branch agencies and ensures that such efforts sustain and complement State and local anti-drug activities. The Director advises the President regarding changes in the organization, management, budgeting, and personnel of Federal Agencies that could affect the Nation’s anti-drug efforts; and regarding Federal agency compliance with their obligations under the Strategy.

Its primary mission is to develop and effectively communicate a fundamental understanding of the processes and characteristics governing how the oceans function and how they interact with Earth as a whole
10. https://www.yoto98.noaa.gov/books/debris/debris1.htm — MARINE DEBRIS EDUCATION. Modern Society has developed a number of uses for plastic due to its lightweight, strength, durability, versatility, and low cost. Products range from bags, bottles, cups, six-pack yokes, and balloons to strapping bands, plastic sheeting, resin pellets, packing materials and fishing gear. Growing evidence indicates that when dumped, lost or abandoned in the marine or aquatic environments, plastic debris not only looks bad, but can harm the environment. Environmental impacts arise from entanglement of marine animals in plastic debris and from ingestion of plastic by aquatic organisms. Marine debris poses a threat to humans when divers, ships, or boats become fouled in debris. The world’s beaches and waterfronts are becoming littered with plastic garbage requiring costly cleanup procedures. As of January 1989, the Marine Plastic Pollution Research and Control Act makes it against the law to dump plastics at sea and in all U.S. navigable waters. This educational publication is one of several public awareness efforts being conducted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Marine Entanglement Research Program on the issue of marine debris. A commitment to stop the dumping of plastics and other harmful refuse into the aquatic environment is needed from fishermen, boaters, sailors, merchant seafarers, and beachgoers alike. «If we are not part of the solution, then we are part of the problem!»The editors have drawn upon a variety of materials from other Federal and state agencies, commercial and recreational organizations, and private individuals to alert youth and their families to the hazards persistent marine debris pose to our natural resources and marine life.
