Our Approach

The NOAA Coastal Services Center recognizes the need for improved protection and sustainable use of coastal and marine resources. Achieving the right balance between the natural and built environment can be difficult and requires strategic and holistic planning.

The NOAA Coastal Services Center fosters conservation as a course of action that protects more than natural ecosystems. Conservation also makes coastal economies robust and coastal communities safe from hazards.
