Throughout the 20th century, the marine environment has been under attack, and the principal assailant has been us. Overfishing, pollution, habitat loss, harmful algal blooms, coral reef bleaching, biodiversity decline, and an increase in ocean acidification and marine heatwaves caused by climate change are challenging the living things that depend upon the ocean, including people. A sea change, however, is occurring in response to these troubling trends. The response to this challenge must be to strengthen the U.S. ocean science and technology enterprise.
