 Coastal Futures 2025 : Internet town meeting on the future of America's coastal areas.
 National Sea Grant Office : "The National Sea Grant Program provides a bridge between government, academia, industry, scientists, and private citizens to help Americans understand and sustainably use our precious Great Lakes and ocean waters for long-term economic growth."
 Office of Oceanic & Atmospheric Research (OAR) : "The primary research arm of NOAA, providing scientific information and tools toward a clearer understanding of the oceans and atmosphere, and how human activity can affect them."
 National Undersea Research Program (NURP) : "NURP supports undersea science and technology. Researchers from around the world use scuba, underwater observatories, and submersibles to study marine environmental problems."
 Atmospheric Turbulence and Diffusion Division : "NOAA laboratory research activities are divided into three themes: Air Quality, Emergency Preparedness, and Climate Variability. Located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee."
 Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) : "Lab carries out interdisciplinary scientific investigations in oceanography, marine meteorology, and related subjects. Topics include interannual climate foreasts, environmental change, and tsunami warning systems."
 Environmental Research Laboratories (ERL) : "Research, technology development, and services to improve understanding of the Earth and its oceans and inland waters, the lower and upper atmosphere, and the space environment."
 Environmental Technology Laboratory (ETL) : Supports NOAA's environmental monitoring and stewardship charter by performing fundamental oceanic and atmospheric research and developing new remote-sensing systems and techniques.
 Aeronomy Laboratory (AL) : "Conducting research on the chemical and dynamic processes of the Earth's atmosphere, the Aeronomy Laboratory seeks to provide a sound scientific basis for decisions made in industry and government related to ozone layer protection, air quality improvement, and climate change."
 Air Resources Laboratory (ARL) : "Researching the processes that affect the quality of the atmosphere, ARL provides scientific advice to elements of NOAA and other Government agencies on environmental problems and emergency response."
 Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) : "Conducts research in oceanography, tropical meteorology, atmospheric and oceanic chemistry, and acoustics. The principal focus of these investigations is to provide knowledge that may ultimately lead to improved prediction and forecasting of severe storms, better use and management of marine resources, better understanding of the factors affecting both climate and environmental quality, and improved ocean and weather services for the nation."
 Climate Monitoring & Diagnostics Laboratory (CMDL) : "Conducts research related to atmospheric constituents that are capable of forcing change in the climate of the earth or that may deplete the ozone layer. CMDL monitors greenhouse gases, aerosols, ozone, ozone-depleting gases and solar and terrestrial radiation at global sites including four Baseline Observatories."
 Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) : "The goal of GFDL's research is to understand and predict the earth's climate and weather, including the impact of human activities. GFDL conducts leading-edge research on many topics of great practical value, including weather and hurricane forecasts, El Niņo prediction, stratospheric ozone depletion, and global warming."
