Excerpt from Reauthorization of the Ocean and Coastal Programs of Noaa: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Oceanography, Gulf of Mexico, and the Outer Continental Shelf of the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session on Noaa Reauthorization, November 3, 19
Today, over 54 percent of the United States' population lives in the coastal zone, including the Great Lakes, which consists of only 10 percent of the total land mass of the United States.
Coastal recreation and tourism attracts millions of visitors each year. Over 75 percent of total commercial landings and 80 to 90 percent of the recreational catch comes from species that are de pendent on coastal habitats during some part of their life cycle. Seventeen million Americans use these waters for recreational fishing, generating $18 billion annually.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses NOAA's ocean and coastal programs. It summarizes the first comprehensive authorization act for NOAA, signed into law a year ago, which provided specific authorization for many of NOAAs activities for a two-year period ending October 1, 1993. The book then discusses the task of reauthorizing most of these activities before the next appropriations cycle. The author has been working for some time on legislation to extend the authorizations under this Committee's jurisdiction through fiscal year 1998. Before this legislation is introduced, there are several issues which the author feels must be addressed. The author believes the strategic review which NOAA has undertaken of its mission and the plan which has resulted need to be understood. In order to authorize specific accounts and activities for an extended period of time, the Subcommittee needs to understand any changes to NOAAS priorities.
