Specific Partnerships 



These general recommendations form the basis for building 

 new partnerships between federal and academic interests in ocean 

 science. Of course, they do not apply to all agencies to the same 

 degree. The full report discusses aspects of specific partnerships 

 for federal agencies with significant ocean programs. The board 

 believes that if these new partnerships are established and nur- 

 tured, the next decade of ocean science research will be character- 

 ized by a robust program of basic research and significant progress 

 toward the solution of marine problems of importance to human- 

 kind.
