Silver Spring, MD June 2022: IBSS is excited to announce our expanding role in NOAA’s National Weather Service (NWS) mission through a recent award where our team will support the Eastern Region Headquarters (ERH) System Operations Division (SOD)....
As a trusted NOAA partner for over 20 years, IBSS looks forward to our continued delivery of innovative science-meets-technology solutions that forward the NOAA mission and make NOAA’s science matter to constituents both at home and abroad.
IBSS’s support will help PRD plan, budget, and manage species recovery projects, critical habitat designations, and other conservation and management activities that promote healthy and sustainable living marine resource populations endemic to the region.
Our work contributes directly to NOAA’s accountability, transparency, and the workable balance between the right of the public to know and the need of the government to protect certain information.
This tagging project is part of a larger effort with the major research objectives of elucidating shark affiliation, continuous residence times, and vertical migration behavior around anchored FADs as a means of identifying potential spatial bycatch mitigation strategies for commercial fisheries using FADs and to obtain a better understanding of the habitat use, ecology, and areas of biological significance of sharks around Hawaii.
The NOAA Fisheries’ WCR uses science to sustainably manage marine resources in the west coast region, including sustainable fisheries, protected resources, aquaculture, and environmental analyses.
NWFSC is part of NOAA Fisheries and is responsible for providing science in support of sustainable fisheries and seafood safety, maintaining healthy ecosystems, and conservation of habitats and protected species.
IBSS will support OLE’s mission by providing a wide range of expertise to include Crime Trade Analysis Support, Law Enforcement Training Support, International Law Enforcement Analysis, Budget, and Administrative Support.
NEFSC is part of NOAA Fisheries, and is responsible for providing science in support of sustainable fisheries and seafood safety, maintaining healthy ecosystems, and conservation of habitats and protected species.
