This month’s episode of The Ocean Decade Show is all about Ocean Decade organization! Using the United States as the first (and hopefully not last!) case study, Taylor and guest Theresa Keith, current John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellow for the Ocean Decade at NOAA Research, go over how the U.S. is organizing itself for the Ocean Decade. Although not a “one-size-fits-all” example, the dual approach for the U.S., composed of a White House-level interagency working group alongside an outside-of-government National Committee, has been a successful approach to ensure widespread Decade participation. Taylor and Theresa discuss the pros and cons, and go over what’s next for the U.S. as we near the end of the first year of the Ocean Decade. Come for the organizational tips, and stay for the witty banter between two Knauss fellows!
