The Northeast Regional Ocean Council (NROC) is a State and Federal partnership with the goal of engaging in regional protection and balanced use of ocean and coastal resources. NROCÂs coordinated approach reaches across state boundaries to find and implement solutions to the regionÂs most pressing ocean and coastal issues. NROCÂs membership includes New England coastal state agencies and federal agencies. The work of the Council focuses primarily on coastal hazards resilience and ocean energy planning and management. NROCÂs members come from varied expertise and work on these issues in many capacities. A social network analysis will serve to identify the network of people working on NROCÂs key issues, both within and outside of the organization. NROC members will be queried regarding their communications on NROC issues and value derived from membership. The resulting information can be used to evaluate the efficiency of the network, where gaps may exist, and additional partnerships that would benefit the CouncilÂs work.
