The NOAA Restoration Center enhances living marine resources to benefit the nation's fisheries by restoring their habitats.

The NOAA Restoration Center is the focal point for marine and estuarine habitat restoration within NOAA. The Restoration Center (housed in the National Marine Fisheries Service, Office of Habitat Conservation) performs restoration pursuant to federal legislation and improves the state of restoration ecology and habitat management.

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
