The NOAA Restoration Center enhances living marine resources to benefit the nation's fisheries by restoring their habitats.

• Restoring degraded habitats
• Advancing the science of coastal habitat restoration
• Transferring restoration technology to the private sector, the public and other government agencies
• Fostering habitat stewardship and a conservation ethic
