  skos:definition """The Northeast Region Office (NERO) administers NOAA's programs in the
Northeastern United States to manage living marine resources for optimum use.
It represents the Assistant Administrator for Fisheries with other Federal,
state, and private conservation agencies; commercial and recreational fishing
industries and interests; consumers; other constituents; and the general public
for the eastern coastal states of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland,
Virginia, and North Carolina; and the inland western states of Vermont,
Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and West Virginia. It
conducts multi-disciplinary research programs to provide scientific and
technical information necessary to manage living marine resources and to
support the information requirements and decision-making processes of Regional
Fishery Management Councils. The Northeast Regional Operations Office is
responsible for planning, organizing and implementing programs for fishery
management, resource allocations, and habitat and protected species (endangered
and threatened species and marine mammals) conservation. The Office administers
grants and cooperative agreement programs; analyzes trade and economic
conditions and related opportunities and impacts associated with fishery
management activities; implements programs to maintain robust habitats and
stocks of living marine resources; coordinates state/Federal cooperative
programs with and among the states, fishery management councils, marine
fisheries commissions, and other Federal agencies; and provides administrative
and technical support to Regional Fishery Management Councils.
