Show NOAA Ocean Guardian School: 2022-2023 Application Open April 1 - June 1, 2022

Organization Name:

Organization Description:

NOAA is an agency that enriches life through science. Our reach goes from the surface of the sun to the depths of the ocean floor as we work to keep the public informed of the changing environment around them. Our mission is to understand and predict changes in climate, weather, ocean, and coasts, to share that knowledge and information with others, and to conserve and manage coastal and marine ecosystems and resources. The Pacific Islands Region is geographically isolated and composed entirely of islands and atolls that can only be reached by air or sea. It encompasses 50% of the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone and includes the State of Hawai‘i and the U.S. Territories of American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. NOAA has substantial capabilities working to address the priorities and needs of our stakeholders and partners in the Pacific Islands Region. Several NOAA centers, offices, and laboratories serve the region. There are over 30 NOAA offices and over 600 federal and contract employees in the region, with the majority of NOAA’s workforce being located on the island of Oʻahu and smaller numbers of employees spread throughout the Hawaiian Islands and territories. Within the region, we have an extensive partnership network that keeps the agency informed about priority issues, collects data and information, conducts cutting-edge research and science outreach, and helps manage our coasts and resources.
