In the article, it says “Many people are not aware that it is actually NOAA that is in charge of protecting all marine species on the Endangered Species List, such as the Atlantic sturgeon, marine mammals (like dolphins), and sea turtles that all spend time in the Bay,” said Dr. Melanie Szulczewski — an associate professor or earth and environmental sciences at the University of Mary Washington — in an email to the Advance.

Dr. Pamela R. Grothe, also an associate professor of earth and environmental sciences at Mary Washington, formerly worked at the NOAA building in Boulder, Colorado. “There are so many functions that NOAA serves to protect our coasts and keep communities and people safe,” she wrote the Advance in an email.
