  Description: 
    Abstract: NOAA's Undersea Research Center for the West Coast and Polar regions operates in the waters offshore of
      California, Oregon, Washington, and Alaska, and the Artic and Antartic. The region is home to economically important fisheries as well as active tectonic margins with earthquake producing
      subduction zones and fault zones; cold seeps and gas hydrate deposits; submarine canyones; seamounts; and volcanically active
      mid-ocean ridges. To support research of this geologically unique and biologically diverse environment, the WCPR Center leases
      manned submersibles, shallow- and deep-diving ROVs, and other research equipment, and funds SCUBA operations.
    Purpose: The West Coast & Polar Regions Center will promote, facilitate and support undersea research along the West Coast of
      the United States and polar regions. The center supports highly-rated, peer-reviewed proposals in order to conduct research.
