NOAA in the Carolinas Brochures
 
(Click on the images above for a printable .pdf version of the document.)
Perhaps you obtained one of our brochures at one of NOAA's many outreach events across the Carolinas. The brochure was created and printed using funds made available to help celebrate 200 years of NOAA. (More information on the NOAA 200 celebration can be found here). NOAA is made up of various groups with a wealth of scientific knowledge in the areas of climate, weather, oceans, coastal ecosystems, satellites, fisheries, and charting and navigation.
One Page of the Brochure shows the line offices that make up NOAA, along with some pictures of the areas that they work to influence and gain understanding, to better serve the public. The other side of the brochure shows three specific ways that NOAA team members are working to improve your life directly. Below is more information on each of these examples.

NOAA Works to Manage Ecosystems of Special Value and to Restore Damaged Habitats
National Marine Sanctuaries and National Estuarine Reserves are among the special places in the coastal oceans that NOAA works to protect and manage for the benefit of the public. From Grays Reef, off of South Carolina, to the coral reefs of Florida Keys and the Northwest Hawaiian Islands, to the fjords of Katchemak Bay, Alaska, these special places help conserve unique ecosystems and serve as a reference with which to gauge changes in other coastal ecosystems. Where coastal ecosystems have been damaged by natural forces such as hurricanes or the carelessness of people, NOAA works to repair and restore damages to marshes, sea grass meadows, and coral reefs.

NOAA Works to Foster Rip Current Awareness and Provide Forecasts to Educate the Public About the Dangers of these Fast Moving Channels of Water
The National Weather Service and Sea Grant have partnered to create rip current awareness materials. Brochures are made available at locations along the coast explaining the dangers of rip currents and showing how to save yourself, if caught in their deadly pull. Signs have also been created and posted up and down the coastline at public beaches. In addition, the National Weather Service issues forecasts of rip currents during the swimming season, alerting the public to days with heightened risks of rip currents.
