forms tailored to decision contexts, 

informed by and readily understandable 

by those interested in using the 

information. 

Rapidly advancing technology is one 

road to reaching that ambition. 

Emerging technologies now enable 

biomolecular classification of 

organisms, tracking of animal migration 

and behavior through tagging, acoustics, 

imaging, and remote sensing across 

previously impossible scales of 

geography and time. The resulting 

timely, accessible, and accurate 

information on ocean life is 

fundamental for our social and 

economic security at all levels of 

governance. It is also fundamental to 

maintain international leadership as 

needs for food, water, and other 

resources continue to grow. 

Achieving these goals requires better 

coordinating data and information 

sharing and resulting actions among 

federal agencies, states, tribal 

communities, academic, and private 

sector initiatives. The Strategy aims to 

provide the critical science, data, and 

knowledge essential to guide long-term 

conservation based on best evidence, 

and to make it more accessible to 

support a collaborative and inclusive 

approach. The Strategy will identify 

information users and engage with them 

to understand what information they 

find useful, and in what forms. The 

Strategy will support consistent and 

reliable assembly and management of 

ocean biodiversity data that is 

necessary, but currently lacking, for 

ongoing federal activities, such as the 

first National Nature Assessment, 

Natural Capital Accounting efforts, the 

National Strategy for a Sustainable 

Ocean Economy, advancing NatureBased Solutions, development of a 

National eDNA Strategy, and the Ocean 

Climate Action Plan, consistent with 

FAIR and CARE principles. 

Developing and implementing the 

National Ocean Biodiversity Strategy 

will advance more cost-effective, 

strategic, nimble, and equitable 

management of the nation’s living 

marine resources and cultural heritage. 

Importantly, the Strategy will support 

solutions to the intertwined equity crisis 

by engaging and supporting Indigenous 

Knowledge and prioritizing cross-sector 

user needs from local to national levels. 

The Strategy also seeks to strengthen 

and increase visibility of U.S. leadership 

in global initiatives focused on solutions 

to the climate and biodiversity crises. 

Specifically, the High Level Panel for a 

Sustainable Ocean Economy 

acknowledged the pressing need for 

national contributions to a globally 

coordinated effort to collect information 

on ocean biodiversity and on extinction 

risk, and highlighted the need to 

support long-term biodiversity 

monitoring. Similarly, U.S. leadership 

of a number of programs and activities 

within the UN Decade of Ocean Science 

for Sustainable Development supports 

emerging communities of practice and 

the development of harmonized, 

standards-based approaches to address 

this need directly. 

Themes and Questions To Inform the 

Development of the Strategy 

Respondents may provide information 

for one or as many topics below as they 

choose. Submissions should clearly 

indicate which questions are being 

addressed. The Strategy will be 

developed by an interagency working 

group under SOST that is co-led by the 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration, the National 

Aeronautics and Space Administration, 

and the Bureau of Ocean Energy 

Management, in partnership with the 

Smithsonian Institution and other 

federal agencies. The working group 

seeks input from Tribal Nations, local, 

State, federal and Territorial 

governments, the private sector, 

academia, non-governmental 

organizations, a wide range of 

stakeholders, and the public on highlevel goals and how to achieve them in 

the following areas: 

Coordination and Priority Setting 

• What are the most pressing topics 

and considerations for the National 

Ocean Biodiversity Strategy to address? 

• What actions can federal agencies 

take to facilitate the harmonization of 

ocean biodiversity investments and 

policy to ensure benefits across all 

sectors? 

Science, Technology, and Information 

• What are the priority needs and 

most promising approaches in science 

and technology to provide useful 

information on ocean biodiversity 

(species, genetic lineages, habitats, 

ecosystems) and the ecosystem 

processes and services they support? 

• How can we best align the efforts of 

knowledge holders with the needs of 

knowledge users? 

• How can ocean biodiversity data be 

made more usable and available? Which 

existing mechanisms or repositories 

could be leveraged? 

Capacity Building and Community 

Engagement 

• How could public and private 

partnerships be developed or enhanced 

to explore and characterize ocean life, 

which existing partnerships could be 

leveraged, and how might opportunities 

for participation by diverse parties in 

such partnerships be maximized? 

• What are the key needs for training 

and education to improve broad 

knowledge and stewardship of ocean 

life? 

• How could the public be engaged in 

developing and implementing improved 

understanding and stewardship of ocean 

life? 

• Is there anything else you would 

like to be considered in the 

development of the National Ocean 

Biodiversity Strategy?
