Description: Despite the fact that the ocean is vital to everything from the air we breathe to daily weather and climate patterns and our economy, we know very little about our ocean, especially its depths. The NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research (OER) is the only federal program dedicated to exploring our deep ocean, closing the prominent gap in our basic understanding of U.S. deep waters and seafloor and delivering the ocean information needed to strengthen the economy, health, and security of our nation.  By using unique capabilities in terms of personnel, technology, infrastructure, and exploration missions, OER is reducing unknowns in deep-ocean areas and providing high-value environmental intelligence needed by NOAA and the nation to address both current and emerging science and management needs.   We are explorers.
