NOPP served as the catalyst for the maturation of our research community and helped us realize theimpact of our research efforts can be compounded

through collaboration, coordination and cooperation.It is our responsibility, now, to take these enhancedskills of partnering and apply them to societys mostexigent needs with haste and vigor.

The National Ocean Partnership Actwas signed into law by PresidentClinton on September 23, 1996.

Seed funding for the first year of theNational Ocean Partnership Program(NOPP) was subsequently provided inthe FY1997 Department of DefenseAppropriations Act.

Across the NJ Coastal Currentand the HSV Highway

LaTTE 2005 -- After Luring the Cape Hatteras Offshore.

The survey began on the Highway. We were near the glider when it surfaced. We saw currents ripping southward in a 10 mthick layer of freshwater along the highway -- perhaps the mostsignificant freshwater transport we saw all week.

Perhaps the most perplexing to me is the Highway andwhy there has been a lack of a strong coastally trapped flowthis week.
