In order to forge solutions to the natural-resource and other challenges our nation faces today, OSMRE works closely with state, local, tribal and insular governments. Our efforts to promote coordinated, mutual efforts among many levels of government help us pool resources, share and gain expertise, and eliminate duplication of efforts. If you are a government agency interested in working with us, you will find information here.
