United States Senate

Subject: Ocean and Coastal Activities: Information on Federal Funding

The Oceans Act of 20001 established the Commission on Ocean Policy 

(Commission) to make recommendations for a coordinated and 

comprehensive national ocean policy. The Commission is required to 

prepare and submit to the Congress and the President a final report of its 

findings and recommendations, which is scheduled for September 2003. 

The Oceans Act also requires the President to biennially submit a report to 

the Congress listing all federal programs related to ocean and coastal 

activities, including, among other things, current and future funding levels 

for each program identified, which the Commission can use in its work. 

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) submitted the first report for 

the President, entitled Federal Ocean and Coastal Activities Report, to the 

Congress in March 2003.

Because OMB’s report only contained actual funding data for ocean and 

coastal activities for the period fiscal years 2000 through 2001, you asked 

us to obtain funding levels for these activities for fiscal years 2002, 2003, 

and projected for 2004. 

This letter documents the data provided to us by 14 federal agencies. We 

have provided a summary of total funding, by agency, for ocean and coastal 

activities, by fiscal year; following the summary are agency-by-agency 

schedules that show, by fiscal year, the activities funded and the related 

funding levels (see enclosure). 

The funding data for fiscal years 2000 through 2003 show that 

• total funding for ocean and coastal activities was about $34.2 billion;

Pub. L. No. 106-256, 114 Stat. 644 (2000).
Page 2 GAO-03-1070R Federal Funding of Ocean and Coastal Activities

• funding for ocean and coastal activities increased each year; and 

• for the most part, agency funding has either remained stable or 

increased.

To obtain these data, we provided the cognizant agencies with worksheets 

containing the data on ocean and coastal activities they had reported to 

OMB and the funding levels as reported by OMB in its March 2003 report 

for fiscal years 2000 and 2001. We asked the agencies to provide updated 

budget figures for fiscal years 2002, 2003, and projected for 2004. We also 

asked the agencies to provide information on any new programs they had 

instituted after reporting to OMB. We did not verify the data provided by 

the agencies and are reporting it as submitted to us. We performed our 

work from March 2003 through August 2003 in accordance with generally 

accepted government auditing standards.

We are sending copies of this report to the Secretaries of Agriculture, 

Commerce, Defense, Energy, Homeland Security, Interior, State, and 

Transportation; the Administrators of the Environmental Protection 

Agency and National Aeronautic and Space Administration; and the 

Directors of the Marine Mammal Commission, National Science 

Foundation, Smithsonian Institution, and the U.S. Agency for International 

Development. In addition, this report will be available at no charge on the 

GAO Web site at http://www.gao.gov.

If you have any questions about this report or need additional information, 

please call me at (202) 512-3841. Key contributors to this report were John 

Kalmar, Jr., Katherine Kousser, and Keith Oleson.

GAO’s Mission The General Accounting Office, the audit, evaluation and investigative arm of 

Congress, exists to support Congress in meeting its constitutional responsibilities 

and to help improve the performance and accountability of the federal government 

for the American people. GAO examines the use of public funds; evaluates federal 

programs and policies; and provides analyses, recommendations, and other 

assistance to help Congress make informed oversight, policy, and funding 

decisions. GAO’s commitment to good government is reflected in its core values of 

accountability, integrity, and reliability.

Obtaining Copies of 

GAO Reports and 

Testimony

The fastest and easiest way to obtain copies of GAO documents at no cost is 

through the Internet. GAO’s Web site (www.gao.gov) contains abstracts and fulltext files of current reports and testimony and an expanding archive of older 

products. The Web site features a search engine to help you locate documents 

using key words and phrases. You can print these documents in their entirety, 

including charts and other graphics.

Each day, GAO issues a list of newly released reports, testimony, and 

correspondence. GAO posts this list, known as “Today’s Reports,” on its Web site 

daily. The list contains links to the full-text document files. To have GAO e-mail this 

list to you every afternoon, go to www.gao.gov and select “Subscribe to 

e-mail alerts” under the “Order GAO Products” heading.

Order by Mail or Phone The first copy of each printed report is free. Additional copies are $2 each. A check 

or money order should be made out to the Superintendent of Documents. GAO 

also accepts VISA and Mastercard. Orders for 100 or more copies mailed to a single 

address are discounted 25 percent. Orders should be sent to:
