Northeast Regional Ocean Council

The Northeast Regional Ocean Council (NROC) is a state-federal partnership organization created to address issues related to the coast and ocean on a regional basis.[1] The organization covers each state in New England which make up its membership.[2] NROC was created in 2005 by the New England Governors Conference.[3] Since 2008, NROC has participated in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning initiative.[4]
