The four goals of the Ocean Phase subgroup are:
1. To explicitly identify the many information gaps in the ocean phase of the life history of anadromous lampreys (Western River Lamprey and Pacific Lamprey).
2. To identify existing research, monitoring, and evaluation (RM&E) programs that may have data that could be used to fill in some of these information gaps.
3. To prioritize particular RM&E projects to be recommended and executed by researchers in the near future.
4. To set forth a plan for executing prioritized RM&E projects.
