NOAA Research, in cooperation with its research partners, explores and investigates ocean habitats and resources. The findings of NOAA researchers contribute to the management of fisheries, conservation of coastlines, and development of a stronger economy through marine products and businesses, such as biotechnology and sustainable aquaculture. | NOAA Research, in cooperation with its research partners, explores and investigates ocean habitats and resources.

NOAA’s Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) in | NOAA’s Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) in Seattle, Washington, designed Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis (DART-II) technology, which provides two-way communication capabilities, allowing engineers the ability to troubleshoot these systems from the lab and repair them remotely when possible. This capability minimizes system downtime, especially in the harsh winter conditions of the [[Pacific Ocean|North Pacific]], and reduces costs by not having to deploy a ship to make repairs. | ||
