The plan outlines federal initiatives for ocean-based climate mitigation and adaptation, addressing existing gaps in science and management. It proposes new actions such as offshore wind expansion, decarbonizing shipping, and enhancing carbon removal technologies. Environmental justice is integrated to ensure equitable climate-resilient systems. Nature-based solutions like conserving blue carbon habitats and expanding marine protected areas are emphasized for climate response. This plan has been effectively terminated by the Trump administration, who issued a moratorium for large-scale offshore wind projects, compounded by the Department of Interior revoking the 3.5 million acres of federal land designated for offshore wind.
