The requested funding will be used to continue providing guidance on major ocean-related science, engineering, and policy issues to the federal ocean agencies, including the National Science Foundation. The Ocean Studies Board (OSB) is the focal point within the NRC for ocean-related science, engineering, and policy issues. The board explores the science, policies, and infrastructure needed to understand, manage, protect, and restore coastal and marine environments and resources. The board exercises leadership within the ocean community by helping identify and communicate the needs of the field, responds to specific requests from government agencies and Congress, and oversees a variety a study projects related to ocean science and engineering and their impacts on policy. The operations of OSB are funded by a number of federal agencies, including the ONR, NOAA, USGS, and NASA. Broader Impacts The OSB strives to increase public awareness of ocean issues, to support ocean science education, and to enhance the dissemination and impact of OSB reports. The OSB also supports the recruitment of minorities into the earth sciences through participation in mentoring and fellowship programs. To further outreach and dissemination, the OSB prepares a 2-4 page nontechnical overview of each new report that is broadly distributed in print and electronically. In addition, the booklets that comprise the Ocean Science Series are intended to help readers interpret information about the state of our oceans and to better understand the role of ocean science.

所请求的资金将用于继续为包括国家科学基金会在内的联邦海洋机构提供与海洋相关的主要科学，工程和政策问题的指导。海洋研究委员会（OSB）是NRC中与海洋有关的科学，工程和政策问题的焦点。董事会探讨了了解，管理，保护和恢复沿海和海洋环境和资源所需的科学，政策和基础设施。董事会通过帮助识别和传达该领域的需求，回应政府机构和国会的特定要求，并监督与海洋科学和工程有关的研究项目及其对政策的影响。 OSB的运营由许多联邦机构（包括ONR，NOAA，USGS和NASA）提供资金。更广泛的影响OSB努力提高公众对海洋问题的认识，支持海洋科学教育，并增强OSB报告的传播和影响。 OSB还通过参与指导和奖学金计划来支持少数民族招募少数民族进入地球科学。为了进一步推广和传播，OSB准备了每个新报告的2-4页非技术概述，该报告广泛分布在印刷和电子方式上。此外，构成海洋科学系列的小册子旨在帮助读者解释有关我们海洋状况的信息，并更好地了解海洋科学的作用。
