About the Restoration Center
Restoration is Habitat Forming
The NOAA Restoration Center enhances living marine
resources to benefit the nation’s fisheries
by restoring their habitat. Located in NOAA Fisheries,
the Restoration Center is the only office within NOAA
solely devoted to restoring the coastal and marine
habitats
that support the nation’s fisheries and other
trust resources. Through habitat restoration, the
Restoration
Center contributes to the sustainability of commercial
and recreational fisheries.
Working with others, the Restoration Center achieves
its mission by:
- Restoring degraded habitats
- Advancing the science of coastal habitat restoration
- Transferring restoration technology to the private
sector, the public and other government agencies
- Fostering habitat stewardship and a conservation
ethic
