National Oceanographic Partnership Program (Nopp)
Abstract
This activity focuses on US Navy investments in the NOPP. NOPP, established by the US Congress (Public Law 104-201) in Fiscal Year 1997, is a unique collaboration among 15 federal agencies involved in conducting, funding, or utilizing results of ocean research. NOPP's value to the Navy derives from the capacity of the partnership to enable and ensure multi-agency efforts where such collaboration enhances efficiency or effectiveness, and/or reduces costs. Major areas of investment by NOPP include: development of an integrated coastal ocean observation system and development of sensors, communications and data acquisition, storage and processing tools required to affect it, modernization of ocean research and observation infrastructure, and marine mammal-related research.
