Report To The Secretary Of Commerce









Need To Strengthen Coordination

Of Ocean Pollution Research




The National Ocean Pollution Planning Act
of 1978 designated the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
as lead agency for preparing and periodi-
cally revising a plan to coordinate and direct
Federal ocean pollution research--an activ-
ity scattered throughout the Government.
GAO found that while NOAA has made
progress toward implementing the act, the
plan has had little impact on ocean pollu-
tion research.

GAO recommends that the National Ocean
Pollution Planning Act be amended to in-
crease the ability of NOAA or an appropri-
ate interagency committee to coordinate
research and that future revisions of the
plan provide clearer direction for the course
and organization of the Federal research
effort.
