What People Say

"Thank you for all of your help and creativity in meeting our needs. AERD does not have a lot of task orders, but our working conditions and needs can be challenging. I appreciate that you and others at OAI have always been responsive to our questions and found ways to meet our needs."

-Antarctic Ecosystem Research Division, Southwest Fisheries Science Center, NOAA Fisheries

"You are awesome and really accessible and helpful to us! It really makes a big difference for us when we are 'way-out-west', and for others further afield I am sure. Plus it is really grounding to know that the company we work for cares about us and communicates knowing we also have close ties with the agencies we work with. I think you all do a great job finding that balance."

-OAI employee

OAI Employees are regularly recognized with the NOAA Fisheries Team Member of the Year award.
