Seeing administration efforts to establish new levels of bureaucracy on an already bureaucratically top-heavy federal ocean governance system, the U.S. House of Representatives last week adopted Texas Congressman Bill Flores' amendment to the 2013 Appropriations bill that would prevent funding for such an effort. The amendment passed by a bipartisan vote of 246 to 174. The proposed ocean policy - establishing an "Oceans Czar" and moving oceans policy decisions even farther out of reach of the seafood industry and other ocean users - is opposed by hundreds of ocean-dependent trade groups. From a press release from Congressman Flores:
"Congressman Bill Flores (R-Texas) was successful in adding two amendments, with bipartisan support, to the bill prior to its passage. The first amendment prevents funding for the National Ocean Policy, an Executive Order by the Obama Administration which was implemented without Congressional authority and which would be run by unaccountable and unelected Washington bureaucrats."
The effort now moves to the Senate.
The website of the National Ocean Policy Coalition, which is spearheading this effort, is at.... http://oceanpolicy.com/.
