Climate Change
We study the consequences of global warming, such as sea level rise and ocean acidification, to help communities make wise decisions
Extreme Natural Events
We forecast effects of HABs, hurricanes, and coastal storms to help protect human health and reduce economic impacts to coastal communities
Invasive Species
We assess the entry of non–native species to assist coastal managers to develop strategies that benefit coastal habitats and economies
Land & Resource Use
We analyze effects of land use on coastal ecosystems and resources to determine ways of decreasing the human impact
Pollution
We determine sources of contaminants and pollutants so coastal managers can protect human health and the coastal environment
-
Coastal Oceans
We provide the scientific foundation that ensures proper conservation and management of coastal ocean ecosystems
Coral Reefs
We assess conditions, monitor trends, produce maps, and predict changes to provide decision-makers information to better respond to changing environmental conditions
Estuaries
We identify links between human activities and ecological disturbances observed in estuarine environments
Marine Sanctuaries
We assist NOAA’s National Marine Sanctuaries Program by providing the science needed for the formulation of sanctuary management goal
