About us
The National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science was formed in 1999 as the focal point for NOAA’s coastal ocean science efforts. We help NOAA meet its coastal stewardship and management responsibilities, and we provide coastal managers with the scientific information necessary to decide how best to protect environmental resources and public health, preserve valued habitats, and improve the way communities interact with coastal ecosystems. Our work includes: -Coastal Change: Vulnerability, Mitigation, and Restoration -Marine Spatial Ecology -Social Science -Stressor Impacts and Mitigation
