Our role is stewardship; our product is science.
NOAA's Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R) protects coastal and marine resources, mitigates threats, reduces harm, and restores ecological function. The Office provides comprehensive solutions to environmental hazards caused by oil, chemicals, and marine debris. Learn more… For information on OR&R's activities as part of the Damage Assessment, Remediation and Restoration Program, see the DARRP Web site.
The Whitehouse has set up a webpage for the Haiti earthquake relief effort. The page is a great resource for information on news and updates, donations to the American Red Cross, ways you can help in the relief effort, getting information about friends or family, and the federal response. You can sign up for e-mail alerts and get the code to add a "Help for Haiti" image to embed on your blog or webpage.
