NOAA’s Ocean Research Fleet: The Unsung Heroes of Marine Science
As I stepped onto the deck of a NOAA research vessel, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe at the sheer scale of the operation. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) operates a fleet of 15 hydrographic survey, oceanographic research, and fisheries survey vessels, each one a marvel of modern marine technology. But what really caught my attention was the team of professional mariners who call these ships home.
