Excerpt
Excerpt: The past 18 months have been an exciting and challenging time for me. Since becoming NOAA?s Assistant Administrator for Ocean Services and Coastal Zone Management in May 2003, I?ve had the privilege of leading one of the nation?s premiere marine research and management institutions. I learned quickly that the National Ocean Service (NOS) is more than a collection of programs; its multitalented staff and diverse research and management initiatives are a foundation on which to build the nation?s ocean future.
