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

Ever heard the phrase “too much of a good thing”? Algae are small plants essential to many aquatic environments. However, some algae can be toxic, and too much algae (even nontoxic species) can be harmful. In the new NOAA National Ocean Service Coastal Pollution Tutorial, learn the unhealthy impacts that harmful algal blooms have on aquatic and coastal environments, humans and coastal economies. https://lnkd.in/e9K3GXyF #HarmfulAlgalBlooms Partners in this effort: NOAA's Office of Response and Restoration, Marine Debris Program

20 years of U.S. Caribbean seafloor mapping is now complete! Throughout 23 cruises, scientists distributed 267 acoustic sensors, conducted 1814 nm of survey coverage, and carried out 955 ROV dives. The info collected will help inform local management decisions regarding overfishing, maritime navigation, place-based management, and more. https://lnkd.in/e6-Xnkdj #Caribbean #HabitatMapping
