All in a day’s work for the people of NOAA as they put science,

technology, and engineering to work for you. Every day, NOAA helps people with local weather forecasts, tornado warnings, oil spill cleanup, high quality seafood, navigation tools, and many other services. NOAA is also a leader in ocean exploration and environmental sciences, finding out more about the Earth and how to use and protect our planet’s resources.

NOAA’s motto is “Science, Service, Stewardship.” Putting that motto into action leads the people of NOAA from the edge of space to the bottom of the ocean. These activities are designed to help you learn more about our world, and how NOAA helps you to explore, understand, and protect our Earth.

Have fun!
