The National Ocean Service (NOS) is NOAA’s lead for positioning the nation’s coasts, communities, and ecosystems for resilience in the face of change.  NOS delivers a wide range of operational services, data products, and decision-support tools and works collaboratively across NOAA and with other partners to best apply these resources to community needs.  Here, we will share an overview of the eight program offices within NOS, including the Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS), Office for Coastal Management (OCM), Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS), National Geodetic Survey (NGS), Integrated Ocean Observing System [IOOS), National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), Office of Coast Survey (OCS) and the Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R).  We will highlight science, data, and services from NOS offices that support preparedness, response, and recovery in the face of extreme events and long-term coastal change.  We will also share specific examples of NOS resources and their applications in the Gulf of America.  By integrating NOS capabilities into local and regional efforts and strengthening relationships among NOS and its partners, we can ultimately work together toward more prepared and resilient communities across the Gulf region.
