NOAA leadership on strategic planning, exploration priorities, 
competitive ocean exploration grant programs, and other matters as the

    OEAB members represent government agencies, the private sector, 
academic institutions, and not-for-profit institutions involved in all 
facets of ocean exploration--from advanced technology to citizen

network of stakeholders and partnerships advancing national priorities 
for ocean exploration.
