Description:

Celebrate the Ocean Join us to celebrate and learn about our world ocean during National Ocean Month. #30DaysofOcean #OceanMonth2020 How much oxygen comes from the ocean? Scientists estimate that 50-80% of the oxygen production on Earth comes from the ocean. The majority of this production is from oceanic plankton — drifting plants, algae, and some bacteria that can photosynthesize. One particular type of tiny photosynthetic ocean bacteria produces more oxygen than all of the tropical rainforests on land combined. Marine Life Counts The ocean is home to millions of different forms of life — yet we know surprisingly little about the creatures that live right along our shores, how they interact with each other, or how they're changing as the ocean environment they live in changes. Our podcast and feature explain how the U.S. Marine Biodiversity Observation Network aims to change that. Coastals Fast Facts Aquaculture. Hurricanes. Wetland benefits. Marine debris. Ports. Tidal flooding. Get "Fast Facts" on these and many other topics from NOAA's Office for Coastal Management. Discover a wealth of demographic and economic information that is quick to read, easy to digest, and easy to grab-and-go. Get the information you need fast! Summer High Tide Bulletin There are some factors that cause the tides to be higher than what is "normally" seen from day to day. View our bulletin to see when you may experience higher than normal high tides for the period of time between June and August 2020. 30 Days of the Ocean This month is our eighth year of NOS’s “30 Days of the Ocean” campaign. This online effort affords us the opportunity to share the importance of our world ocean, increase awareness of online NOS products and services, and promote ocean and environmental literacy to support informed stewardship decisions.

In the U.S., where over half of us live along the coast and more than 78 percent of our overseas trade by volume comes and goes along our marine highways, the health of our coasts is intricately connected to the health of our nation's economy. The National Ocean Service (NOS) translates science, tools, and services into action, to address threats to coastal areas such as climate change, population growth, port congestion, and contaminants in the environment, all working towards healthy coasts and healthy economies.
