Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
The Ocean Exploration Cooperative Institute (OECI) brings together experts in marine technology development and utilization from the University of Rhode Island, University of Southern Mississippi, University of New Hampshire, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and the not-for-profit Ocean Exploration Trust to advance NOAA and NOAA Ocean Exploration's missions to map and characterize the US' exclusive economic zone by 2040.
For NOAA, this partnership leverages science, technology, and outreach/education capabilities that align with our mission, but that do not exist internally to the agency, and thus OECI expands NOAA's science and technology capacity.
