“The new White House initiative will take a comprehensive approach to all the different uses of our public seas. Using our best observing tools and a national Ocean Council working with regional and local interests there will be a determination how we can best restore our ocean commons while maintaining its use for recreation, transportation, trade, (clean) energy, (limited) protein, security and, of course, inspiration, the everlasting blue in our red, white and blue.” – Taken from the Blue Frontier Campaign’s BLUE NOTES #77 written by David Helvarg
