                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. VERN BUCHANAN

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 16, 2009

  Mr. BUCHANAN. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican Leadership 
standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following information 
regarding earmarks I received as part of H.R. 2847, the Commerce, 
Justice, Science Appropriations Act, 2010:
  Requesting Member: Congressman Vern Buchanan
  Bill Number: H.R. 2847
  Account: NOAA--Operations, Research, and Facilities
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Mote Marine Laboratory
  Address of Requesting Entity: 1600 Ken Thompson Parkway, Sarasota, 
Fl. 34236
  Description of Request: I secured $1,500,000 for Science Consortium 
for Ocean Replenishment (SCORE) at Mote Marine Laboratory.
  SCORE is a multi-state initiative for the recovery of the nation's 
ocean fisheries. Its approach is to replenish diminishing marine 
fisheries stocks based on scientific protocols developed through a 
highly coordinated national effort focused on demonstration of 
successful stock enhancement. This fast-track strategy has the 
potential to be more cost-effective and timely than policy measures 
traditionally used to conserve and sustain ocean resources.
