"NOAA's National Undersea Research Program (NURP) supports in situ investigations in the oceans and large lakes of the world. The program seeks to place investigators safely undersea to conduct manipulative experiments not possible within the limitations of traditional laboratory and ship-based research. Research activities are aimed at increasing our knowledge of the structure and processes of the global ocean. With an understanding of how physical, chemical, biological, and geological processes control marine environments important to the nation, informed decisions can be made to improve the wise use of our marine resources."
