• Abstract:
  The U.S. Committee on the Marine Transportation System (CMTS) participated in developing the Final Recommendations of the Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force (IOPTF), dated July 19, 2010, and through its member agencies has engaged actively in the strategic action plan writing teams for the nine policy objectives within the Ocean Policy Task Force report. It is the CMTS position that: • The U.S. Marine Transportation System (MTS) is an integral and critical component to the National Ocean Policy and its implementation; and, • The CMTS provides coordinated expertise and effective partnerships and networks of agencies with MTS responsibilities; it should be utilized by the National Ocean Council to successfully advance National Ocean Policy implementation across the full range of priority objectives.
