Pew Oceans Commission Report 2003: The first comprehensive look at US Oceans policy in 30 years. "The Pew Ocean Commission is an 18-member independent, bipartisan panel created with a private $3.5 million grant from the Pew Charitable Trusts. Its mission was to conduct a national dialogue on the policies needed to restore and protect the living marine resources in U.S. waters. The Commission recently submitted its findings and recommendations in a report to Congress, entitled America's Oceans: A Resource in Crisis, with the hope that they will become the basis for a new approach to managing ocean resources."
