“In early 2015, County Executive Kathy Dahlkemper began the process of preparing a nomination application to NOAA for the Lake Erie Quadrangle National Marine Sanctuary. The theme of the proposal is the protection of shipwrecks and their historic artifacts in Erie County, Pennsylvania’s portion of Lake Erie. NOAA officially accepted Erie County’s NMS application in February, 2016 and placed it on the NMS inventory for potential designation. County Executive Kathy Dahlkemper will explain the nomination process and discuss the significance of a NMS designation and what it would mean for our region.”
What Is NOAA? NOAA stands for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. NOAA scientists study the skies and the oceans.
Do you like to go to the beach? NOAA protects the coasts and beaches to make sure the sand and water are clean for you to play in.
NOAA studies the fish in the ocean and protects whales, dolphins, and other marine mammals like sea lions and seals.
