The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is the leading U.S. Government Agency providing a scientific, managerial, and supporting role in the development; utilization; and conservation of the oceans and their resources in harmony with the environment. NOAA programs and responsibilities are aimed at national needs and priorities influenced by trends and needs on a global scale. World population growth; greater dependence on the oceans and resources for basic societal needs; development of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ); global environmental change due to warming, natural hazards, and marine pollution; and marine resource degradation and depletion all impact ocean space utilization. Many inter-dependent NOAA programs address these trends and needs with emphasis in four areas requiring international, interagency, and intra-NOAA coordination. These are: the Coastal Ocean Program, Climate and Global Change Program, Data and Information Management Program, and Marine Modernization Program referred to as the Marine Resources and Oceanic Services 2000 Program. Because of the broad scope of NOAA Programs, this paper is limited to providing only a selective overview of marine activities pertaining to ocean space utilization.
