National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP)

The National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP) is a collaborative effort among U.S. government agencies, academia, and industry dedicated to advancing our understanding of oceans and marine environments. It funds research, technology development, and educational initiatives to improve ocean observation, science, and management. By pooling resources and expertise, NOPP aims to address critical coastal, oceanic, and climate-related challenges, supporting sustainable use and conservation of marine resources. Ultimately, it helps inform policy decisions and enhances our ability to respond to environmental changes affecting oceans and coastal communities.
