The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Team Member of the Year award is presented each year to team members of the NOAA NMFS workforce who are not actual NOAA Federal employees. These awards recognize the outstanding contributions to NMFS programs by team members working alongside NMFS staff, and their demonstrated, exceptional and sustained effort toward accomplishment of the NMFS mission.
We are proud to present the Ocean Associates, Inc. employees who have been awarded as a 2021 NOAA NMFS Team Member of the Year – Congratulations to all!
