This exhibit of 20 posters celebrates 200 years of science, service, and stewardship at America’s oldest scientific research organization – the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States, signed the Organic Act of 1807, which authorized surveying the coast of the United States. Once known as the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, NOAA is charged with understanding and predicting changes in the Earth’s environment and managing America’s ocean resources. This fascinating exhibit details the many historic events and scientific breakthroughs that shape their research today. There is no fee for this family-oriented educational exhibit. Visitors can enjoy the exhibit during normal Center hours through September 30, 2007. All ages welcome. For additional information call (727) 453-6500. 1800 Weedon Dr. NE, St Petersburg, Florida 33702
