• Description:
  "Because Mississippi's ocean management infrastructure is at an early stage of development in comparison with most coastal states, the Mississippi Ocean Policy Study's primary aim is to encourage the state to adopt an effective ocean management institutional framework, rather than to provide detailed, issue-specific policy recommendations​. The study examines specific ocean use issues and identifies unstated or unclear state policies, but solely within the context of developing a working agenda and source of information for future policymakers once an improved management framework has been put into place. Methods are suggested for initiating a comprehensive state ocean management program. Model legislation is provided that includes provisions for the establishment of an advisory body to act as a leading policy voice in this effort"-- National Sea Grant Library publication website.
