This research evaluates how effectively the award fee process has been in motivating contractor performance within the Southwest Division (SWD) of Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC). It analyzes the effectiveness of the current process in motivating contractors to performance excellence, identifies obstacles to effective motivation in the current process, identifies positive aspects of current procedures, as well as provides action recommendations, where warranted, for greater success in effectively motivating contractors to performance excellence through the award fee process. A survey revealed the current award fee process motivates contractors, but can be improved. There are a number of problems and barriers; however, there are solutions. Periodic reviews of the award fee process are the single, objective solution discovered by the research. A commitment to effective change by management is also important. Lastly, consistency through a streamlined process and specific evaluation criteria are critical.

The ocean is under increasing threat from the expansion of human activities. The combined impacts of these threats as well as the potential impacts of climate change and ocean acidification have placed thousands of species at risk of extinction, and have impaired the structure, function, productivity and resilience of marine ecosystems. Currently, some parts of the world's oceans are significantly impacted, yet are without any form of effective management. Only a small proportion of the oceans are within protected area systems. Globally, measures are being taken to increase protection and sustainable management, but application is uncoordinated and not always effective. In order to support effective policy action by countries and competent international and regional organizations, it is critical to build a sound understanding of the most ecologically and biologically important ocean areas that support healthy marine ecosystems so that the necessary steps to ensure the long-term function and resilience of these systems can be taken.
