About Me:
 
The National Ocean Service, an office within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (or NOAA), is leading the way to understand, predict, and respond to challenges such as the impacts of climate change on coastal communities, marine debris, pollution, water quality, erosion, port congestion, and population growth.

We are working to make sure that America's oceans and coasts are safe, healthy, and productive. Our scientists, natural resource managers, and specialists provide tools and services to protect coastal communities, observe our oceans and coasts, ensure safe and efficient marine transportation, reduce ocean and coastal health risks, and conserve coastal and marine places.


We encourage viewers to comment on videos posted on the NOS YouTube channel; however, comments will be moderated and any comment that violates our comment policy will not be posted. Read the policy on our Web site at /commentpolicy.html.

NOS Responds to November 2009 Nor'easter
The week of November 9, the remnants of Hurricane Ida combined with a coastal storm to produce a powerful noreaster that wreaked havoc along the mid-Atlantic coast. In the wake of the storm, the National Geodetic Survey and Office of Coast Survey responded, surveying impacted areas.

Our National Marine Sanctuaries: A Legacy of Protecting Americas Oceans and Coasts
The Office National Marine Sanctuaries manages a national network of underwater marine protected areas. Designated by Congress, these special ocean and Great Lakes areas are designed to protect natural and cultural resources, while allowing people to use and enjoy our oceans and coasts. The first sanctuary was created in 1975 and the network has since grown to include 13 national marine sanctuaries and one marine national monument.
