Urban Waters Federal Partnership
Purpose
Within NOAA - Provide unique scientific products and services designed to boost economic
vitality, restore habitat, and mitigate hazards and contamination in coastal, Great Lakes,
and other locations.
Digital Coast offers access to a host of tools (NOAA's and others) useful for addressing
water issues in the coastal zone and beyond. The website makes available free and online,
data sets, tools, additional training, and approaches. The sites’ 'In Actions' and
'case studies' will show you how others are using the available data and tools in their
communities. The toolkit was shaped by the contributing partners.
Partnerships between the District of Columbia, NOAA, USDA, Casey Trees, and Living Classrooms
have supported conservation education for school children throughout the District.
Several sites, including federally owned land, along the Anacostia River contribute
to existing ecological and public health concerns—such as fish consumption advisories—that
impact the economic and social vitality of the region. NOAA, EPA, the Department of Defense,
and DOI are working with state and local authorities to clean up these sites.
Within the Economic Development Administration - Foster the creation of high-skill jobs and
the generation of private capital investment in distressed communities.
DC and the Washington, DC Economic Development Partnership have developed a five-year
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy for DC guided by the Economic Development
Administration. The general goal of this strategy is to maximize economic opportunity
for residents by creating and retaining jobs and fostering private investments. The
Strategy will bring together annually the public and private sectors to create an
economic roadmap and be used as an evaluation benchmark in the global economy.
