A National Strategy3 GOALS1. Ensure the preservation,transparency, and publicavailability of critical integratedcoastal and ocean observations1. Define a framework for guiding thecontinued planning and build-outof a sustained coastal mooringnetwork1. Justify the need for a coresustained network of federal andnonfederal coastal moorings thatadheres to national andinternational data standards andbest practices
The Gulf of Mexico 40% of total U.S. crude oil refinery capacity30% of total U.S. natural gas processing plant capacity 20 billion tourist industry2009 produced 1.4 billion pounds of seafood 78% of U.S shrimp 62% of U.S oysters 13 of the top 20 U.S. ports by tonnage
