Description: From the white sharks that silently patrol the Gulf of the Farallones to the graceful hammerheads that congregate at the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary, sharks are some of the National Marine Sanctuaries' most beautiful - and important - underwater residents. Here are some curious sharks who have investigated our underwater activities around the country.

NOAA VIDEO: Whale Disentanglement Network Teams

Title: NOAA VIDEO: Whale Disentanglement Network Teams
Runtime: 5:20
Date posted: 14 years ago
Description: How Does NOAA Disentangle Whales?

A specialized team of NOAA marine mammal experts and partners are trained to safely disentangle large whales, using guidelines that minimize risk to the animals and rescuers. This also maximizes the potential for success. Unlike the movies, real rescuers do not enter the water to disentangle whales. This is too dangerous for both the rescuer and the whale.

To mark Earth Day 2012, students are deploying NOAA drifters, or floating ocean buoys, at 6 US sites, some in partnership with students internationally: Boston Harbor (Dominican Republic); Miami (Chile); Channel Islands/Santa Barbara (Chile); Mobile (Mexico); Maui (Republic of Marshall Islands); and Seattle.

The events are part of NOAA's Adopt a Drifter Program in which kids can learn about ocean currents in near real time -- a lesson in how the ocean connects us all. Covering 70% of the Earth's surface, the ocean plays a major role in our climate, weather, and living conditions.

Schools "adopt" a drifter equipped with climate sensors. Students participate in a contest to deploy their school's drifter at ...

Though science has taken us a long way toward more accurate and reliable forecasts for a number of weather phenomena, improvements in science and technology are only part of the equation for protecting lives and property. NOAA's Weather-Ready Nation initiative seeks to not only improve forecasts, but integrate the social science research from pilot projects to operations to understand human behaviors during the time leading up to and during these events.

Description: Due to popular demand, we've added a longer video of the explosive deep sea volcano we first told you about last week.

Scientists funded by NOAA and the National Science Foundation recorded the deepest erupting volcano yet discovered, describing high-definition video of the undersea eruption as spectacular. Eruption of the West Mata volcano, discovered in May, occurred nearly 4,000 feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, in an area bounded by Fiji, Tonga and Samoa. We found a type of lava never before seen erupting from an active volcano, and for the first time observed molten lava flowing across the deep-ocean seafloor, said the missions Chief Scientist Joseph Resing, a chemical oceanographer at the University of Washington who collaborates with NOAA through the Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean. Though NOAA and partners discovered a much shallower eruption in 2004 in the Mariana Arc, the deeper we get, the closer the eruption is to those t...
