Description:

The University of Southern Mississippi and the Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Consortium hosted a workshop to follow up on human health related findings and recommendations of the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy (USCOP). The meeting began with an overview by USCOP Commissioner Frank Muller-Karger. Dr. Muller-Karger discussed the findings of the Watkins Commission, with an emphasis on Chapter 23 - Connecting the Oceans and Human Healrh. Dr. Juli Trtanj next presented an overview of NOAA's new Oceans and Human Health Initiative (OHHI), including the OHHI Centers of Excellence, the individual investigator awards, and the Distinguished Scholars Program. The remainder of the meeting focused on the two main aspects of oceans and human health natural products and diseases. Ten brief topical talks were presented on these two aspects, followed by detailed discussions in two breakout sessions. The natural products breakout group discussed four topics:(1) unique opportunities for bioproduct discovery in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM); (2) collaborations with Mexican scientists; (3) creation of a GOM communications network; (4) and a regional response to the President's Ocean Action Plan and the Congressional OHH Act. Recommendations made by this group focused on these four topics. The diseases breakout group discussed three main areas: (1) educational needs and opportunities; (2) better methods for the detection of pathogens and integration of such monitoring with ocean observing systems; and (3) the concept of a GOM ecosystem in which indigenous pathogens play an integral role. Eight recommendations were made by this group, all focusing on these three topics. Both breakout groups concluded that both scientific meetings and public information forums need to occur on a regular basis in order to better inform all stakeholders about issues relating to the GOM and human health.
