From page 4... ...
To provide a clearer connection between the research priorities and the underlying societal needs, the plan should identify a series of challenges for science and society under each theme. LINKAGES AMONG THEMES Major ocean research and management challenges facing our nation require multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches that cut across the defined missions of individual government agencies as well as nongovernmental organizations, academia, and industry.

There is a huge range in the costs of conducting the various types of ocean research addressed in the priorities that logically will have an impact on the implementation of the research plan and progress toward achieving societal goals. Similarly, new capabilities in forecasting ocean processes (both physical and biological)

RECOMMENDATION: The ORPP should clearly state the goals, challenges, and research priorities of the plan and how these relate to existing programs and new initiatives. The implementation strategy should include a schedule by which these priorities could reasonably be addressed, a set of benchmarks by which progress can be assessed, and a strategy for maintaining new capabilities (made possible by ad vances in knowledge of processes, modeling, and technology)
