Retired Navy Vice Adm. Conrad C. Lautenbacher, Ph.D., undersecretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator, announced highlights of President Bush’s proposed 2008 budget for the Commerce Department’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Lautenbacher said NOAA’s request totals $3.8 billion or an increase of 3.4 percent over the administration’s 2007 request. “The President’s budget makes a substantial investment in our oceans that will pay dividends for years to come,” said Lautenbacher. “We will be able to make great progress in the goals laid out in the President’s Ocean Action Plan of ensuring sustainable use of ocean resources, protecting and restoring marine and coastal areas and enhancing ocean science and research.” (Source NOAA)
