Features: Ocean policy and law are the foundation of national maritime governance. The United States is a maritime power with a long coastline and abundant marine resources, and its government has always attached great importance to the research and formulation of ocean policies. For a long time, U.S. policymakers have faced the challenge of correctly finding the balance between the development of marine biological and non-biological resources, resource conservation, and environmental protection. This is particularly evident in three areas: oil development, commercial fishing, and the protection of marine mammals. This book is the Chinese translation of the report titled "Charting a Course for America's Oceans" by the Pew Ocean Commission. In this report, the Pew Commission brought together the collective experience of the fishing industry, the scientific community, the field of nature conservation, the education sector, government agencies, the charitable sector, and the industrial sector. It advocates for the restoration and protection of marine and coastal ecosystems, the maintenance of the various benefits provided by the ocean, and recommends that the United States formulate a new ocean policy.
