Effective information management and dissemination is essential to the Office of Science and Technology’s vision of serving as the trusted source of the scientific information and advice needed to ensure that Americans enjoy the sustained riches and benefits of healthy and diverse marine ecosystems.

Through analysis of collected data and subsequent processing of these data, users can better understand the results of surveys, studies and collected information. That information is then disseminated through tools and applications such as:  charts, summarized reporting, maps and info graphics. This contributes to efficient management decisions, education, research projects and public needs.

S&T’s Applications and Technology focus on dynamic interfaces that allow the user to obtain that information.
