President-elect Donald Trump will assume leadership of a nation built upon a strong maritime heritage and facing unprecedented changes to the ocean and earth system. Strengthening our national and homeland security, promoting a healthy population, fostering food safety and security, and building a dynamic workforce for the future – all while maintaining and growing our nation’s economic prosperity – are the challenges faced by the incoming president and Congress. The ocean science and technology community have the data, information, and expertise to help the 45th president and the 115th Congress navigate these rough waters.

“A healthy and productive ocean underpins our nation – from energy to power our society to millions of ocean and coastal jobs, and fish to feed our people and freshwater for drinking and farming to the very oxygen we breathe. It is the science community that seeks to understand the sea and to glean the secrets of this changing system. This understanding leads to increased certainty in business models, improvements in maritime domain awareness, advancements in evacuation plans, and the ability to feed our growing population. It all is built upon the gold-standard of peer review and science integrity, and that is what we call on our elected officials to support,” said Rear Admiral Jon White (USN, ret.), President and CEO of Consortium for Ocean Leadership (COL).
