An Environmental
Management System (EMS) supports NOAA's mission.
It is a mechanism to enable NOAA operations
to efficiently and effectively understand
and predict changes in the Earth's environment while conserving
and managing resources to meet our Nation's economic, social,
and environmental needs now and in the future.
Senior
management across the Department of Commerce (DOC), the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
National Ocean Service (NOS) and National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) fully supports the EMS
initiative at NOAA.
This commitment has been demonstrated through the memorandums
and policies listed below and through briefings
from managers at all levels.
The NCCOS Management Support is conducted
per NCCOS EMS Standard EMS.001 Policy and Leadership
