Short Description:
This study of the U.S. Marine Mammal Commission sought to assess the organization's operations under its legislative mandate, using criteria from literature on policy-oriented professionalism.
Abstract:
Based on the study's findings, researchers identified a difference between the way the Commission oversees other agencies' marine animal programs and the way it "self evaluates, learns, and evolves on the basis of it's experience, with strongly pragmatic approaches to its appraisal of other agencies' programs, contrasted with weak appraisal of its own operations."
