National Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning Workshop, June 21–23, 2011 Washington, DC

In July 2010, President Obama signed Executive Order 13547 establishing the National Policy for the Stewardship of the Ocean, Our Coasts, and the Great Lakes. The National Ocean Policy sets forth a vision for America that ensures our ocean, coasts, and Great Lakes are healthy and resilient, safe and productive, and understood and treasured so as to promote the well-being, prosperity, and security of present and future generations. To achieve this vision the National Ocean Policy establishes a comprehensive, collaborative, regionally based planning process—coastal and marine spatial planning (CMSP). CMSP is a comprehensive, adaptive, integrated, ecosystem-based, and transparent spatial planning process, based on sound science, for analyzing current and anticipated uses of ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes areas. This process involves cooperative planning among Federal, State, and Tribal authorities, and solicits extensive input from the public and stakeholders to develop an approach tailored to the unique needs of each region. The National CMSP Workshop was called for in the President’s Executive Order to facilitate the implementation of the National Ocean Policy and outline the role of CMSP in meeting our Nation’s stewardship responsibilities. It was held in Washington, DC, on June 21–23, 2011.
