Abstract:

The mission of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is to explore, map, and chart the global ocean and its living resources; to manage, use, and conserve those resources; to assess the consequences of inadvertent environmental modification over several scales of time; and to disseminate long-term environmental information. The Administration conducts an integrated program of management, research, and services related to the protection and rational use of living marine resources and their habitats, and protects marine mammals and endangered marine species. It promotes wise and balanced management of the Nation's coastal zone.

          NOAA also provides satellite observations of the environment by operating a national environmental satellite system, and conducts an integrated program of research and services relating to the oceans and inland waters, atmosphere, and Earth. It acquires, stores, and disseminates worldwide environmental data through a system of meteorological, oceanographic, geodetic, and seismological data centers.
