Recognizes the importance of U.S. oceans
and the Great Lakes
Sets forth nine priority objectives (e.g.,
CMSP)
Recognizes nine regions (e.g., Pacific Islands
Region)
Creates Regional Planning Bodies (RPB) to
implement NOP

Letters to Pacific Islands Region governors
are expected to be mailed in June
Federal RPB members have met
Will be assessing capacity of all agencies to
contribute towards CMSP
Draft charter, draft work plan, and begin
drafting CMSP plan
