It allows NOAA to designate or fund research areas, with terms of use, monitoring, advisory boards, and community engagement, including consultation with Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations. It creates a federal interagency working group to coordinate research, write a code of conduct for researchers, and publish a report every two years. It also directs the National Science Foundation, NASA, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology to support related research, satellite monitoring, and measurement standards, and authorizes funding for fiscal years 2027 through 2031.
