“Science-based decision-making, supported by established scientific methods, is critical in creating our desired outcome: safe, healthy, and productive oceans and coasts,” said Gustavo Rubio, vice president of science and research at ECS, and program manager for the contract. “We look forward to supporting NOAA NOS scientists, natural resource managers, and specialists. Together, we will ensure safe and efficient marine transportation, protect coastal communities, and work to conserve marine and coastal places.”
