[applause] is do a formatdo a little bit different than i usually do because i want to involve you in the discussion. I do not give you a long speech, i will listen i will limit it to three hours. [laughter] sen. Sanders i want to touch on, there are some out there. I want to touch on some of the essential issues and get your thoughts on it.

And in many ways we are now dealing with a very new ocean. In fact, our former coast guard commandant called the arctic americas fourth coast. I thought that was a powerful way of thinking about it in part bec
Climate on oceans, Marine Biodiversity and human populations living in vulnerable areas. I appreciate it andthanks to our first panel. Ive enjoyed the conversation.
