Office of Law Enforcement
Field Office
NOAA's Office of Law Enforcement is dedicated primarily to the enforcement of laws that protect and regulate our nation’s living marine resources and their natural habitat. Office for Law Enforcement special agents and enforcement officers have specified authority to enforce over 37 statutes, as well as numerous treaties related to the conservation and protection of marine resources and other matters of concern to NOAA. Numerous issues dealing with the resource-rich waters of Washington, Oregon and Idaho remain a time-consuming endeavor for the Northwest Division. With the "overfished" designations for nine species of groundfish on the west coast, the Northwest Division has been fully engaged in the development of Rockfish Conservation Areas and implementation of a Vessel Monitoring System for as many as 500 limited entry fishing vessels. Special agents in the Northwest Division focus on two Fishery Management Plans in the Northwest which manage over 146 species of fish and 15 species of marine mammals found within the three states. Focusing on endangered salmon recovery, minimizing marine mammal harassments and implementing Vessel Monitoring System on the west coast ground fishery have been high priorities. The agents, officers and support personnel in this division are charged with the enforcement of marine resource laws covering over 89,241 square miles of ocean, 142,202 miles of inland waters and critical habitat and the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary.
