March 31, 2008 | The US House passed HR 2342, “National Integrated Coastal and Ocean Observation Act of 2008.” The legislation has been sent to the Senate for their deliberation. See current status, summaries and full text of HR 2342

Since 2006, we have represented the Regional Associations (RAs) formed to meet the diverse needs of local and regional users throughout the US. NFRA and the RAs work to increase access to ocean and coastal information.
