The vision for the New Blue Economy is an economy that includes equitable, transparent, high-tech, data-based tools and services to empower, ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes decision-making that advances safety, security, prosperity, and a healthy and sustainable marine environment. To foster the transition to a more sustainable and knowledge-based blue economy, NOAA will provide data, information, and services that will catalyze American competitiveness, accelerate growth of ocean industries and science, and facilitate technology advancements for coastal and marine solutions to climate challenges.
This session will host discussions of NOAA’s future in ocean and coastal data and services, as well as highlight partnerships with other government organizations (Federal, State, Local, and Tribal), academia, non-profits, and the private sector that feature the use of NOAA’s ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes data to sustainably create equitable opportunity, accelerate economic growth, and find solutions to pressing societal needs through improved data and data access.
