Partners
NROC seeks new, and encourages existing, ocean and coastal partnerships to address regional issues. We foster regional communication, interaction, and cooperation on marine and ocean-related research and development, education, exploration, and observation. NROC works with numerous organizations on initiatives addressing ocean planning, coastal hazard resilience, and ocean and coastal ecosystem health. Partnerships range from short-term, informal interactions to long-term, formalized relationships with Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs). All of these partnerships are important and valuable to NROC.
Memoranda of understanding (MOUs) between NROC and partner organizations provide an overview of the organizations’ shared interests and formally describe the methods of collaboration. NROC currently has MOUs with the following organizations.
