- Mission [1]
- As the Science Advisory Board advises on all aspects with respect to science at NOAA, by its nature the SAB supports the agency's
mission. To strengthen this connection, the SAB charter reflects the Agency's mission statement. The charter states that the
first objective of the SAB is to: "advise the Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere on strategies for research,
education, and application of science to operations and information services, so as to better understand and predict changes
in Earth’s environment and conserve and manage coastal and marine resources to meet the Nation’s economic, social, and environmental
needs." As NOAA has adjusted its strategic plan to reflect a "One NOAA" perspective in which cross-Line Office communication
is achieved through overarching goal team structures, the SAB charter aligns the advisory board to follow this cross-disciplinary
perspective.
