"As the deliberations and discussions of the Review Committee developed, it became clear that there were six major issue areas that required in-depth evaluation. These six areas subsequently became the major sections of this report: strategic planning, national strategic investments, partnerships, communications and marketing, funding, and internal office structure and operations. The report provides an in-depth analysis of several issues within each of these areas, followed by recommendations for future action. The Committee recognizes the significant progress that has taken place in a number of these areas, in particular in the leadership of the National Sea Grant College Program"--Preface.
