The health of the oceans and people are inextricably linked. For many years we focused research and policy onanthropogenic impacts to oceans and coasts. Recently we have started to think about how the health of the oceansaffects us. In response to the Oceans and Human Health Act of 2004, a NOAA initiative was created to explore the“One Health” of the oceans and coasts. The Center of Excellence in Oceans and Human Health at Hollings MarineLaboratory (HML) is one of three Centers dedicated to understanding the connections and forecasting changes inocean and coastal health and human health. The Center at HML is developing new tools and approaches, includingsentinel habitats and sentinel species, to evaluate linkages between ecological process and human health and wellbeing. The results provide environmental and public health managers, policy-makers and communities forecasts andassessments to improve ecosystem-based management that protects health and mitigates risks for the oceans, coastsand people.(PDF contains 4 pages)Conference Name
