Our ocean is essential to life, spanning thousands of miles of coastline around the United States and sustaining millions of people and businesses every day. From the rocky coasts of New England to the pristine shores of the Pacific, our ocean provides food, recreation, economic opportunity and natural beauty to communities across the country. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is the premier federal agency at the frontlines of protecting our ocean and coastal environments. Whether you live on the coast or inland, we all depend on NOAA’s world-class scientists and professionals to protect our ocean and planet. We cannot afford to let this agency be underfunded. Don’t wait—urge your member of Congress to fully fund and support NOAA!
