National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Strategic Plan

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Strategic Plan outlines its goals to protect, manage, and improve understanding of the nation's oceans, weather, and climate. It focuses on providing accurate forecasts, safeguarding environmental health, supporting sustainable use of resources, and advancing scientific research. The plan guides NOAA’s efforts to ensure communities are prepared for weather hazards, support economic prosperity through healthy oceans, and enhance scientific knowledge to inform decision-making—ultimately working to benefit people, the economy, and the environment.
