Regional Navigation Managers

NOAA's navigation managers, stationed strategically in port areas along U.S. coasts and Great Lakes, work directly with pilots, mariners, port authorities, and recreational boaters.

They help identify navigational challenges facing the marine transportation system, and provide the resources and services that promote safe and efficient navigation.
