About NOEP

The NOEP is now being hosted by the Monterey Institute of International Studies, with generous funding also provided by the University of Southern California Sea Grant Program. We are currently seeking additional funding to continue NOEP's mission beyond 2010, as well as expand it in new directions and integrate the NOEP with the Monterey Institute’s plans for a greater academic focus on International Marine Policy. For information on these initiatives please contact Jason Scorse, Ph.D., Associate Professor and Chair of the International Environmental Policy Program, at jason.scorse@miis.edu.
