Get Involved
Opportunities to get engaged and involved in NOAA Ocean Exploration’s efforts to explore and understand the ocean.
NOAA Ocean Exploration leads national efforts to fill gaps in basic understanding of the deep-ocean environment, providing critical data, information, and awareness needed to protect American livelihoods, strengthen national security, and promote a vibrant U.S. economy. But the ocean is a big place and we can’t possibly explore it alone. We rely on input and participation from a range of communities. Some of the opportunities to get engaged and involved in our efforts are highlighted below. We hope you’ll join us.
