Administration struggles to clarify intent and advantages of an ocean planning system to House of Representatives Republicans

Over the course of two hearings in the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Natural Resources the Republican majority on the committee posed a lengthy series of questions which demonstrate their resistance to planning for ocean uses, but more so it showed that the concept of ocean planning, coined as "Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning," or CMSP, in this Administration, remains poorly understood. Below are a series of tweets live from the October 26. 2011 hearing.
