Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I will continue with you, Ms. Fuller. You spoke about some of the ecological changes we're seeing and will continue to see. We've also heard at this meeting about the need to invest fairly significantly in coastal infrastructure.
I'm struck by your comments about the lack of an overarching federal strategy for the marine economy and for coastal infrastructure. How do all these pieces.... Why is it so important that we consider this as a system as opposed to looking at the different parts separately?
