It's National Aviation Day! It may not seem like an obvious celebration for us, but we are the home of the National Geodetic Survey, which provides the highly accurate position, height, and orientation information needed for safe air navigation. More on how we work with the FAA on aeronautical surveys:

The oldest science agency in the U.S. government was founded as the Survey of the Coast in 1807, renamed Coast Survey in 1836, became the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS) in 1878 and joined NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration in 1970. On March 24, 1926, the staff of the USC&GS took a photo in front of their Capitol Hill headquarters. On March 24, 2026, the staff at NOAA who inherited the mission of the USC&GS took a photo at their headquarters in Silver Spring. More on the history of the Geodetic Survey: https://t.co/Cipl7xjEyb

Discover the story beneath the waves. 🌊⚓

In December 1862, the USS Monitor sank during a storm off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. More than 160 years later, the wreck has become much more than a Civil War artifact, it is the nation's first national marine sanctuary, an artificial reef supporting a thriving marine ecosystem while preserving one of America's most iconic shipwrecks.

In the first of this two-part series, explore the history of the USS Monitor, its final voyage, and why its legacy continues to matter today: https://t.co/6Wf6fxykZ3.

A partnership between @NOAA, William & Mary's VIMS & Batten School and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, and Chesapeake Bay crabbers is transforming routine vessel activity, including crab trap removal efforts, into a new source of bathymetric data. The NOAA Marine Debris Program is supporting commercial crabbers with side-scan sonar technology to locate and remove lost and abandoned crab traps. Data collected during those recovery efforts is now helping researchers map and better understand the Chesapeake Bay. https://t.co/X7mZqD1b1P

Sea turtle lovers, listen up! 📣This is your week! That’s because we’re celebrating the amazing reptiles who have been swimming in Earth’s oceans for tens of millions of years. Sea turtles migrate across oceans and survive for many decades at sea. 🐢🌊
