          first public webinar for the Upcoming 10-Year Ocean Research
          Plan (the Plan), tentatively titled, “Ocean Research in the
          Coming Decade.” The Plan will describe the most pressing
          research questions and most promising areas of opportunity
          within the ocean science and technology (S&amp;T) enterprise.
          It will set the stage for actions across Federal agencies and
          with non-Federal entities to address societal needs and issues
          of national importance. The overall purpose of the Plan is to
          provide up-to-date, cohesive, and strategic guidance for the
          Federal ocean S&amp;T enterprise, informed by and in alignment
          with the ocean S&amp;T community and science-based information
          needs of resource managers, policy-makers, educators, and
          stakeholders. This new Plan will supersede the NSTC’s
          “Charting the Course for Ocean Science in the United States
