The National Research Council has established under its Marine
Board a committee on Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) Information Needs.
The charge of this committee is to identify the needs of the states,
industries, and academic researchers for information about the seabed of
the EEZ. This advice will be passed to the U.S. Geological Survey
(USGS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
and used to guide their Joint Program for Mapping and Research in the
EEZ.
Data collection in offshore areas is expensive and. in some cases
requires development of new technologies. In setting priorities for
mapping and research and for determining technology development needs,
it is important to include the needs of all the potential users of the
oceans. The coastal states and U.S. territories are major participants
in the Nation's ability to develop and protect its ocean resources.
The attached table is intended to provide our committee with an
understanding of the priorities of your state or territory for
information in relation to present or planned uses of the EEZ seabed.
In addition to your office, the table is being sent to (NOTE: name,
affliction of others in a particular state who received the table).
In your response, please consider the relevant conclusions and
positions developed by marine advisory and policy groups in your state.
The National Research Council is the principal operati'?g agency of the Natio'2a/ Academy of Sciences and the Natio'2a/ Academy of Engi'`eeri,~g
