Marine ecosystems are shaped by many drivers, from shifting habitats to human activity. Scientists at NOAA PMEL use long-term observations and cutting-edge sensors and platforms to study ocean conditions and living resources. These are the measurements and data that fuel our models, inform our science, and drive the life-saving services we provide, such as fisheries management, detecting invasive species, and understanding ocean noise impacts on marine life. The results help protect ecosystems and ensure sustainable fisheries that benefit communities, cultures, and economies.
