The Northeast Regional Ocean Council, or NROC, is one of four currently established Regional Ocean Partnerships authorized by the U.S. Congress in 2023. NROC serves to facilitate dialogue and collaboration around three priority areas: ocean and coastal ecosystem health, costal hazards resilience, and ocean planning.
Recently, NROC has expanded its support and services for Tribal Nations. Tribal Nations in the region may benefit from participation in the NROC Tribal Caucus, subscribing to the NROC Tribal Newsletter, or viewing their Tribal Youth Opportunities list. Additionally, NROC can provide technical assistance and travel funding to Tribal Nations and have two dedicated staff to provide such services. Contact Asha Ajmani, Tribal Engagement Coordinator, at aajmani@northeastoceancouncil.org to learn more about any of these opportunities.
