Summary
Arctic Ocean Research and Science Policy Review Act of 2009 - Directs the Secretary of Commerce to request the National Research Council to conduct a study on the existing research and research advisory entities of the United States Arctic Ocean (the U.S. zone of the Chukchi and Beaufort seas north of Cape Prince of Wales, Alaska). Requires such study to: (1) review the breadth, relationship, and overlap of existing research programs and research advisory entities engaged in U.S. Arctic Ocean research; (2) assess the gaps in such research and in the coordination, integration, and synthesis of research activities and data; (3) assess existing scientific information and identify additional information necessary, including local and traditional knowledge, to ensure adequate federal agency environmental reviews; (4) recommend a comprehensive strategy to develop priorities for, and coordination, integration, and synthesis of, U.S. Arctic Ocean research and to coordinate and integrate such research with pan-Arctic research; and (5) provide a comprehensive, 10- to 20-year long-range U.S. Arctic Ocean research and monitoring plan.
