13 March 2019 the Consortium for Ocean Leadership (COL) held its annual Public Policy Forum. The topic was U.S. Ocean Policy: Past, Present, and Future, and used as a point of departure the 2004 U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy report An Ocean Blueprint for the 21st Century. Jesse Ausubel led off and moderated the final hour-long session on future ocean policy, videotaped here.
The Forum began with the superb review of the Ocean Commission report by our close colleague and friend VADM (ret.) Paul Gaffney, with whom we have conducted the Monmouth U – Rockefeller U Marine Science and Policy Initiative since 2015.
