SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Marine Biotechnology Investment Act 
of 1993''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds and declares the following:
            (1) Throughout human history, the oceans and Great Lakes 
        have been an important source of food and a wealth of other 
        natural products.
            (2) Marine biotechnology holds tremendous promise for 
        expanding the range and increasing the utility of products from 
        the oceans, understanding and treating human illness, and 
        enhancing the quality and quantity of seafood.
            (3) Marine biotechnology offers opportunities to improve 
        the stewardship of marine resources through the development and 
        application of effective methods to restore and protect marine 
        ecosystems, to manage fisheries, and to monitor marine 
        biological and geochemical processes.
            (4) The United States currently is a world leader in marine 
        biotechnology, a position with the potential for contributing 
        to business and manufacturing innovations, creation of new 
        jobs, and stimulation of private sector investment.
            (5) Maintaining national leadership in the face of growing 
        foreign competition will require Federal investment in a well-
        defined and coordinated national program of research, 
        development, and private sector partnership, based on the 
        existing responsibilities and expertise of the National Oceanic 
        and Atmospheric Administration and other Federal agencies.
            (6) In particular, the National Sea Grant College Program 
        should play a leading role in the development of marine 
        biotechnology in the United States, building on proven 
        capabilities in research, technology transfer, and education.

SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.

    As used in this Act--
            (1) The term ``Council'' means the Federal Coordinating

        or accidental release, from a contained research facility into 
        the surrounding environment, of a living marine or other 
        aquatic organism in which the genetic material has been 
        purposely altered at the molecular or cellular level in a way

SEC. 4. NATIONAL MARINE BIOTECHNOLOGY STRATEGY.

    (a) In General.--The Director, through the Council and its 
Committee on Life Sciences and Health, shall develop a National Marine 
Biotechnology Strategy for the establishment and implementation of a 
comprehensive research and development effort to assist the Nation in 
understanding and using marine biotechnology. The Director shall submit 
the Strategy to the President and Congress within 1 year after the date 
of enactment of this Act and shall submit a revised Strategy at least 
once every 3 years thereafter.
    (b) Elements of the Strategy.--The Strategy shall--
            (1) establish, for the 10-year period beginning in the year 
        the Strategy is submitted, goals and priorities for a 
        coordinated Federal effort in marine biotechnology;
            (2) describe specific activities to achieve such goals and 
        priorities, including--
                    (A) basic and applied research initiatives;
                    (B) essential infrastructure development;
                    (C) education and training programs;
                    (D) development of partnerships among government 
                agencies, industry, and academia to translate research
