Healthy coastal ecosystems are vital to the U.S. economy, supporting fisheries, tourism, and storm protection. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is critical in ocean and coastal health management, conducting vital research for climate change impacts. NOAA's efforts bolster a large portion of the GDP. However, recent strategies by the Trump administration have sought to undermine NOAA, raising concerns over the future management of vital marine resources, particularly regarding overfishing and pollution affecting fisheries. The agency has historical roots dating back to 1871, with continued efforts to prevent fishery collapses.
Healthy coastal ecosystems are integral to the U.S. economy, supporting fisheries and tourism while protecting coastlines. Managing them requires expertise and technology.
NOAA leads the government’s ocean and coastal health initiatives, providing essential data that underpins weather forecasting and climate change research.
