NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration
NOAA has established a new exploration and research program called Ocean Exploration. It is NOAA's contribution to an even broader program called for in the report of the Presidential Panel on Ocean Exploration, "Discovering Earth’s Final Frontier A U.S. Strategy for Ocean Exploration."
Specifically designed to involve the diverse research community beyond NOAA as well as participants from many NOAA Line Offices, the program endeavors to address a growing national interest in exploring unknown regions, processes, and life within the global ocean as well as an increasing awareness of the oceans' importance to our environment and quality of life. It seeks to bring the best of our Nation's ocean scientists to our ocean frontiers to discover new species, ocean processes, cultural marine heritage, and new resources.
