NOAA’s Office of Ocean Exploration and Research today announced that it is seeking applications by Wednesday, Dec. 9 from individuals interested in filling up to four vacancies on the Ocean Exploration Advisory Board.
Individuals are sought who have demonstrated expertise in areas of scientific research relevant to ocean exploration, including marine archaeology, or ocean-science education and communication, and representatives of other federal agencies involved in ocean exploration are encouraged to apply.
The Board, which was established pursuant to the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009, advises the NOAA Administrator on strategic planning, exploration priorities, competitive ocean exploration grant programs, and other matters as requested. The Board is also expected to play a significant role in helping to define and create a national ocean exploration program.
