"Volunteers across the nation provide vital support to NOAA as we strive to understand, protect and educate others about our oceans and atmosphere," said retired Navy Vice Adm. Conrad C. Lautenbacher, Ph.D., undersecretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator. "I commend all volunteers for dedicating their time and expertise."
This new Web portal provides a collective presentation of NOAA volunteer opportunities across the United States that are available within three of NOAA's primary offices:
- NOAA Fisheries Service: engage in NOAA's management of living marine resources through conservation and the promotion of healthy ecosystems
- NOAA Ocean Service: delve into the nation's sanctuaries and estuaries to support NOAA's pursuit to observe, understand and manage the nation's coastal and marine resources
- NOAA National Weather Service: trained storm spotters and long-term observers support NOAA's mission of climate monitoring and protecting life and property through accurate forecasts and warnings.
