What the Statement IS …What the Statement IS …
An expression of need…
to fill a critical gap in data
Apolitical …coalition of academic and agency scientists
An information tool to consider and use when making decisions for and with the governor
Part of governor’s public position on ocean stewardship
A suggested process …(communal funding, communal availability)

What the Statement is NOT What the Statement is NOT
A request to OPAC for funding!
A request for underwater photography.
An attempt to direct activities or direction of the Science & Technical Advisory Committee (STAC)

Why now?Why now?
Difficult to realistically set up a network of MPAs that addresses all habitat protection
issues without further mapping …
Take advantage of current momentum …
Vessels of opportunity, personnel
Consider cost of not doing this …E.g., tsunami damage in $billions
Lack of stewardship?

Desired Role of OPACDesired Role of OPAC
Endorsement of the need to gain this information …
Future OPAC letter of support to State Land Board, other entities …
Consider and use statement when making decisions for and with the governor.
