Ways in which NOAA, a Federal Agency within the Department of Commerce, achieves its mission:
A Supplier of Environmental Information Products: One of the most important resources in our society is information.

In coordination with federal, state, local, tribal and international authorities, NOAA manages the use of these environments, regulating fisheries/marine sanctuaries as well as protecting threatened/endangered marine species.
A Leader in Applied Scientific Research:
NOAA is a trusted
source of accurate and objective scientific information in four
particular areas of national and global importance: Climate: Understand changes in climate, including the El Niño phenomenon, to ensure that we can plan and respond properly. Weather & Water: Provide data and forecasts for weather and water cycle events, including storms, droughts and floods.
