The Legislative Assembly finds and declares that ocean acidification and hypoxia severely endanger the states commercially and culturally significant ocean resources. The Legislative Assembly therefore declares it to be the policy of the state to ensure a coordinated, effective response to ocean acidification and hypoxia. To facilitate efforts that are coordinated and effective, it is the states policy to support ocean acidification and hypoxia actions and initiatives that are developed through close collaborations between federal, state and local agencies, academic institutions and commercial industries, among others. Note: 196.571 to 196.573 were enacted into law by the Legislative Assembly but were not added to or made a part of ORS chapter 196 or any series therein by legislative action. See Preface to Oregon Revised Statutes for further explanation.
