... In addition to exercising leadership within the ocean community, the Board undertakes studies at the request of federal agencies, Congress, or other sponsors, or upon its own initiative. In recent years, the Board has conducted studies in the following areas: • Status of marine and coastal environments • Ocean's role in the global climate system • Technology and infrastructure needs for ocean research • Ocean – related aspects of national security • Fisheries science, management, and policy • Living and non-living marine resources • Ocean education • Program reviews • Future of the discipline in the United States and abroad • Operating Principles • Board Responsibilities The Board provides an open forum for those interested in ocean issues to bring technical and policy concerns for discussion and possible action.

... All committee members serve pro-bono and are screened to avoid potential conflicts of interest. Before the committee meets, one of the volunteer experts is appointed to serve as the committee chair, and a member of the Ocean Studies Board staff is assigned as the study director.
