NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries
There is more information available on the federal website about the history of national marine sanctuaries and the legislation that governs them (National Marine Sanctuaries Act). We encourage you to not only explore these relevant policy sections of the ONMS website, but also its other sections to learn more about the National Marine Sanctuary System.
Friends of NOAA
The Foundation is a steering member organization of the Friends of NOAA, which is a group comprised of supporters, stakeholders and partners of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and exists to encourage Congress to provide appropriate support for the agency as it carries out its mission of saving lives and livelihoods. The group also seeks gain more support for NOAA within the Executive Branch, especially in regards to the budget process. Find out more about the coalition here.
