One goal of Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary (NMS) is to protect the unique community found within the Sanctuary's boundaries. An understanding of the ecological interactions, including trophic structure, among these organisms is necessary to realize this goal. Therefore, diet information for 184 fish species was summarized from 113 published studies. Among the fish included are 84 fish species currently known to reside in Gray's Reef NMS. The locations of these studies ranged from the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of the northeast United States to northern Brazil, the Gulf of Mexico, and...

As Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Manufacturing and Services in the International Trade Administration, I have noticed two common threads woven into the fabric of America's private sector: American industries remain strong because they have learned, advanced and innovated; and they can compete and win against anybody if they are given a level playing field. U.S. companies are global leaders in developing and applying cuttingedge technology, in providing quality, knowledge-based jobs, and in creating new value through offering innovative integration of manufacturing and services.

In an effort to preserve on of the most famous shipwrecks in U.S. history, the wreck of the USS Monitor was designated our first national marine sanctuary on January 30, 1975.

Scenarios do not predict future changes, but describe future potential conditions in a manner that supports decision-making under conditions of uncertainty. Scenarios are used to develop and test decisions under a variety of plausible futures. This approach strengthens an organization's ability to recognize, adapt to, and take advantage of changes over time. Using a common set of scenarios across different regions and sectors to frame the range of uncertainties surrounding future environmental conditions is a relatively new and evolving initiative of the NCA. This report provides scenarios to...
