摘要

The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed H.R. 5618, the National Sea Grant College Program Amendments Act of 2008. This legislation will increase the funding levels and the interaction between the National Sea Grant Office and the individual state programs and will improve programmatic performance reviews, according to officials. It was based on recommendations emerging from the National Academy of Sciences 2006 review of the Sea Grant program.
